(c)

in the Annex, footnotes (**) and (***) are replaced by the following:

‘(**)Data refer to the national production of RES-E in 1997, except for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia where data refer to 1999, and for Bulgaria and Romania where data refers to 2001.

(***)The percentage contributions of RES-E in 1997 (in 1999-2000 for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, in 2001 for Bulgaria and Romania) and 2010 are based on the national production of RES-E divided by the gross national electricity consumption. For the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, gross national electricity consumption is based on 2000 data. For Bulgaria and Romania gross national electricity consumption is based on 2001 data. In the case of internal trade of RES-E (with recognised certification or origin registered) the calculation of these percentages will influence 2010 figures by Member State but not the Community total.’.

(d)

In the Annex, the following footnote concerning the entry for Bulgaria is added:

‘(7)On the basis of the preliminary analysis and the updated information, the 11 % target is based on a positive development of renewable energies and on favourable climate conditions. The possibility of reaching this indicative target is highly dependent upon the total annual rainfall, timing of rainfall during the year and inflow as well as other climatic factors heavily affecting the level of hydropower production and utilization of solar and wind energy. Furthermore, the RES utilization is limited by the relevant environmental and related national legislation corresponding to the respective EU legislation.’.
