	EPIA Annual Report 2006 The challenges we are facing in 2007 are huge: we have to convince decision makers at European and national level that the decisions they will take should not undermine existing legislation but rather improve it. Europe has the potential to take the lead in developing renewable energies and in particular photovoltaic solar electricity. EPIA is decided; thanks to the strong commitment of its members and the mandate they have given to the Board, to conduct its action in that direction.

	PV-Policy - European Best Practice Report The report has been prepared in the frame of the PV POLICY GROUP project with the support of the “Intelligent Energy Europe” programme (EIE/04/058/S07.38564). This report is the result of the work undertaken under the working group 2 “PV Policy Database and Best Practice Report”. The editorial deadline of this report was 7 November 2005. As the political framework for photovoltaics is currently changing fast in several countries parts of the country profiles might already be out-dated.

Electricity production based on solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is pollution-free at the local as well as the global level, it does not emit greenhouse gases, it does not dip into finite fossil fuel resources and it can be easily integrated into the urban environment, close to major consumption needs.

These particularities make PV one of the major and most suitable options in the mid-to long term future for producing electricity worldwide in OECD and non-OECD countries.
