In
December 1997, the European Commission adopted the White Paper on
Renewable Energy Sources. In this paper targets are set for the penetration
of renewable energy sources in the European Union. Monitoring is considered
a key input for focussing the efforts, both on the level of the Commission
and on the level of national governments, to achieve the targets set
in the White Paper and the Campaign for Take-Off.

Ecofys and her project
partners developed a monitoring protocol for the European Comission,
in a project called PRETIR - Progress of Renewable Energy: Target
setting, Implementation and Realisation.
The PRETIR project estimated
the effect of policy instruments of all EU member states on the
use of renewable energy sources for the period until 2010. The project
partners reviewed success and risk factors, results of ex-post evaluation
of different types of policy instruments, evaluation of the historic
development of the use of renewables per country per source, and
results from market assessments and outlooks.
