we all have to be aware that certain natural resources are non-renewable and that every time we use them, it is at someone else's expense.

Fortunately, there is enough evidence in the world showing that environmental protection can be an important agent of the development and of changes in the production and consumption as fundamental sources of environmental problems.

In the framework of the full, wide-ranging review covering all aspects of EU spending, including the CAP, and of resources, including the United Kingdom rebate, on which it shall report in 2008/2009, the Commission shall undertake a general review of the own resources system.

By determining priorities, we do not neglect the integrated approach to environmental problems. On the contrary, we focus on critical sites or areas and on the more effective utilisation of available resources.

For petrol-fuelled mobile sources, the effectiveness of the control of emissions of PAHs (in addition to other exhaust components) may be ensured through programmes to test periodically the fuel metering and the efficiency of the catalytic converter.

Such coordination shall, inter alia, seek to secure agreement on opportunities for international cooperation in accordance with articles 20 and 21 of the Convention, enhance technical cooperation and channel resources so that they are used effectively.

Such a system may include inputs, releases and transfers of a specified range of substances and products, including water, energy and resource use, from a specified range of activities to environmental media and to on-site and offsite treatment and disposal sites.

Given that the operation of the power plant has so far been relatively reliable, that the reserve capacities of other energy resources are limited and that energy consumption is unlikely to be reduced in the near future, it is not realistic to expect an early decommissioning of the power plant.

The choice of measures for any particular case will depend on, and may be limited by, a number of factors, such as economic circumstances, technological infrastructure, any existing emission control device, safety, energy consumption and whether the source is a new or existing one.

Pursuant to article 21, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Convention, the Parties agree to establish an inventory of sources of funding at the national, subregional, regional and international levels to ensure the rational use of existing resources and to identify gaps in resource allocation, to facilitate implementation of the action programmes.

4. preservation of the biological living conditions of all forms of life.

1. adoption of patterns of production and consumption which contribute to minimizing the consumption of natural resources and the production of waste; and

It includes output under "Resources" and intermediate consumption under "Uses".

Reducing emissions, energy consumption and the environmental impact as well as enhancing the use of raw materials and the conservation of resources should form an integral part of the improvements sought.

Having regard to Council Directive 92/75/EEC of 22 September 1992 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources of household appliances (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

In particular, if market-regulating agencies are assigned to the sector general government, subsidies paid to the agencies in connection with market-regulating processes (purchase, storage and resale) appear as "Uses" but also as "Resources" in the sector general government.

the funds or economic resources will be used exclusively to satisfy claims secured by such a lien or recognised as valid in such a judgment, within the limits set by applicable laws and regulations governing the rights of persons having such claims;

Member States may extend the scope of paragraph 1 in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises and other customers that cannot switch their gas consumption to other energy sources, including measures for the security of their national electricity system if it depends on gas supplies.

The National Programme for Economical Energy Management and Use of Renewable Energy Sources was approved by the Government in October 2001 and indicates a target of the electricity share from RES in gross electricity consumption of 3,0% (excluding big water power stations above 10 MW) and 5,1% (including big water power stations above 10 MW) by 2005.

The UN Security Council has expressed its intention to consider whether and how to make available the funds and economic resources frozen pursuant to UNSCR 1532 (2004) to the Government of Liberia, once that Government has established transparent accounting and auditing mechanism to ensure the responsible use of government revenue to benefit directly the people of Liberia.

(1) Within their jurisdiction, the Republic and the local authorities are obliged to encourage those activities which reduce the depletion of the productive potential of the environment, primarily the consumption of material and energy and prevent or restrict environmental pollution below permissible pollution levels.

The evaluation of crop output can normally be based on resources, i.e. the estimate of quantities produced (harvested) based on estimates of areas under crops and yields, or on uses, i.e. on estimates of purchases by the user branches of agricultural products, exports net of imports, to which should be added certain quantities used for intermediate consumption by the agricultural industry, changes in producer stocks and use for own account (much of which is own final consumption).

Permanent withdrawal premiums (Article 7), premiums for the creation of joint enterprises (Article 8), small-scale coastal fishing (Article 11), socioeconomic measures (Article 12), protection and development of aquatic resources (Article 13(1)(a)), fishing port facilities with no financial participation by private beneficiaries (Article 13(1)(c)), measures to find and promote new market outlets with no financial participation by private beneficiaries (Article 14), operations by members of the trade with no financial participation by private beneficiaries (Article 15), temporary cessation premiums and other financial compensation (Article 16), innovative measures and technical assistance including pilot projects carried out by public bodies (Article 17).

This enables the resources of goods and services to be balanced with the uses.

A resource for the rest of the world is a use for the total economy and vice versa.

It includes output under 'Resources' and intermediate consumption under 'Uses'.

Thus, what is a resource for the rest of the world is a use for the total economy and vice versa.

In this way, the supply and use of various categories of labour is shown systematically.

Imports of goods and services are recorded on the resources side of the account and exports of goods and services on the uses side.

aiming at ensuring that the consumption of resources and their associated impacts do not exceed the carrying capacity of the environment and breaking the linkages between economic growth and resource use.

The difference between resources and uses is the balancing item in the account, called 'external balance of goods and services'.

in the goods and services account, output and imports are recorded as resources and the other transactions in products are registered as uses;

in the external account of goods and services, imports of goods and services are recorded as a resource, while exports of goods and services are registered as uses.

There are also a column for the total economy, a column for the rest of the world, and a column which balances uses and resources of goods and services.

Each account is represented by a row and column pair and the convention is followed that resources are shown in the rows and uses are shown in the columns.

Each transaction must be recorded twice, once as a resource (or a change in liabilities) and once as a use (or a change in assets).

In a framework of this type it is imperative that, for example, the price and volume concepts for a given group of products should be defined identically in both resources and uses;

- the promotion of energy saving, energy efficiency, renewable energy and studying the environmental impact of energy production and consumption,

This enables the resources of goods and services - valued exclusive of taxes on products - to be balanced with the uses, which are valued inclusive of these taxes.

For radionuclide facilities the parameters include product transport speed or time spent in the radiation zone and positive indication for correct position of the source.

- comparison of data on fuel or input material consumed by specific sources with fuel purchasing data and data on stock changes,

physical (e.g. solubility and density), chemical and biochemical (e.g. oxygen demand, nutrients) and biological (e.g. presence of viruses, bacteria, yeasts, parasites).

Social transfers in kind are recorded on the resources side of the redistribution of income in kind account in the case of households, and on the uses side in the case of general government and non-profit institutions serving households.

Government expenditure comprise the following ESA 95 categories, recorded under the use side of general government accounts, with the exception of D.3 and D.9 which are recorded under the resource side of general government accounts

Consolidation refers to the elimination, from both uses and resources, of transactions which occur between units when the latter are grouped, and to the elimination of reciprocal financial assets and liabilities.

In the table of integrated economic accounts, uses, assets and changes in assets are recorded on the left-hand side, while resources, liabilities, changes in liabilities and net worth are recorded on the right-hand side.
