Scope and Means Sample Clauses

Scope and Means. 1. Means of cooperation may include technical assistance, development and implementation of joint actions as agreed between the Parties. 2. Cooperation and technical assistance provided by the EFTA States for the implementation of this Chapter shall be carried out through programmes administered by the EFTA Secretariat, without prejudice to other bilateral cooperation and technical assistance programmes that the Parties may develop in fields covered by this Agreement, including complementary arrangements. 3. Cooperation under this Chapter shall be subject to the availability of funds and resources of each Party. Costs of cooperation under this Chapter shall be borne by the Parties within the limits of their own capacities and through their own channels, in a manner to be agreed between the Parties.

Scope and Means. 1. To achieve the objectives referred to in Article 5.1, the Parties attach particular importance to cooperation initiatives aimed at: (a) strengthening the relations of trade capacity building between the Parties; (b) improving and creating new opportunities for trade and investment; (c) fostering competitiveness and innovation; (d) promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter referred to as SMEs); (e) supporting the role of the private sector, with special emphasis on SMEs, in promoting and building strategic alliances to encourage mutual economic growth and development; and (f) addressing the needs for cooperation identified in other parts of this Agreement. 2. Cooperation shall be led by the contact points responsible for this Chapter, by means of the instruments, resources and mechanisms made available by the Parties to that end, in conformity with the rules and procedures in force.

Scope and Means. Cooperation shall be carried out by the bodies responsible for co-operation relations, including those falling under the scope of this title, by means of the instruments, resources and mechanisms available by the Parties to that end, in conformity with the rules and procedures in force. In particular, the Parties may use different instruments, such as exchanging information, experience and best practices, technical and financial assistance, and the joint identification, development and implementation of projects, among others. The Parties shall attach particular importance to following up the cooperation measures put in place to contribute to the optimal execution and making the most of the benefits of the Agreement. The tasks of the Trade Committee responsible for following up the Agreement shall include following up and, where appropriate, providing stimulus and guidance in relation to the main aspects of cooperation within the framework of the objectives indicated in Art XX1.2. The Trade Committee may address recommendations to the competent bodies of each Party that are responsible for the programing and execution of cooperation.

Scope and Means. The first 4 phases of the Work Programme having been completed, the following activities will form the basis of the fifth phase: (a) Generating technology and market information on CO2 Capture and Storage and related options. (i) Technical feasibility and process development requirements; (ii) Technical performance (e.g. mass and energy balances, thermal efficiency); (iii) Environmental impact; (iv) Cost of electricity, heat or other product and the cost of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Environmental impact assessments will include greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, in particular carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, generation of by-products and other environmental implications of the chosen technology. Results will be presented on a comparable basis. The initial programme of work (phase 1) showed certain technology options were of interest. In phase 2, some of these options were examined in more depth; better understanding was developed of their potential and of the work which needed to be done on them. Additional options were also studied. In phase 3, attention focussed on specific means for improving capture and storage of carbon dioxide, enhancement of natural sinks both on land and in the ocean, abatement of other greenhouse gases, alternative energy carriers, and initial comparison was made with other mitigation options. In phase 4 further studies to assess individual technologies capable of deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in power generation and other large energy-intensive plants were carried out, especially the decarbonisation of fossil fuels, including production and distribution of hydrogen, and more detailed comparisons were made with other, relevant mitigation options. In phase 5, there will further studies on capture, transmission and storage of CO2 to maintain up-to-date understanding of the technology and progress on the capture of CO2 and on the safety and security of CO2 storage. Development of abatement cost-curves will allow detailed comparison of mitigation options, putting CO2 capture and storage in perspective with the other mitigation options. Studies will continue on application of capture and storage for production and distribution of zero-carbon energy carriers, such as hydrogen and/or electricity. Further work will be done on industrial mitigation options. A watching brief will be maintained on abatement options for non-CO2 gases. A regular series of briefings will be prepared covering develo...
