Structure of presentation 1. The Challenge 2. BSBEEP position to BS OP framework 3. How BSBEEP will achieve its goals 2

1.The Challenge An EU Neighbourhood Programme: Black Sea Basin, Joint Operational Programme, “... The Black Sea Basin is one of the main areas of interaction between the European Union (EU) and its eastern neighbours, and it is experiencing rapid and intense structural evolution. After the last enlargement in 2007, with the accession of two littoral states, Bulgaria and Romania and with Turkey conducting accession negotiations, the EU now has shores on the Black Sea. As a result, the EU´s interest in furthering stability and security in this region has grown even stronger.” 3

BSBEEP position to BS OP framework Adequate financial resources BS OP budget evolution (ENPI budget) From Euros, early 2007… … raised to Euros at 22/12/2010 (+3,0 M€) … … raised to Euros at 21/12/2011 (+1,5 M€) … … raised to Euros at 10/12/2012 (+2,4 M€) … -> An increase of +32,2% … and much more for period !!! 7 BS OP budget BSBEEP budget % Euros ,50 Euros 2,86 %

2. BSBEEP position to BS OP framework To contribute to BS OP’s overall objective: “to achieve stronger regional partnerships and cooperation” … by exercising on … (from general to specific) Priority 1: Supporting cross border partnerships for economic and social development based on combined resources Measure 1.3: Creation of administrative capacity for the design and implementation of local development policies Project: Black Sea Buildings Energy Efficiency Plan 8

3. How BSBEEP will achieve its goals BSBEEP: Overall and specific objectives To contribute to stronger regional partnerships and cooperation schemes in BS area through the reinforcement of administrative capacities of local authorities and bodies. To reinforce the administrative capacities of local authorities and bodies in a very crucial sector (energy efficiency in buildings) having major environmental and economic impacts locally and globally. Why energy efficiency? 9

3. How BSBEEP will achieve its goals BSBEEP: Why energy efficiency? Because, it means doing more with less … New professions, More jobs, new actors New Materials, products, new applications New funds, initiatives, policies and progammes, new procedures, standards, certifications, incentives A field of activity very relevant to local authorities and communities Money savings, cost reduction, better environment, fighting climate change, poverty, social exclusion 10

3. How BSBEEP will achieve its goals BSBEEP: Method of implementation 11 GA5 Extract and organize knowledge GA1, GA2 Promote and disseminate BSBEEP GA4 Implement and change GA3 React and negotiate with society about EnEf - GA4 ?

3. How BSBEEP will achieve its goals BSBEEP: What are we waiting to receive Knowledge, methods, techniques, procedures in order to reinforce the administrative capacities of partners and further disseminate to collaborating local authorities and bodies. Publicity, awareness, dissemination of project results and knowledge to local population and stakeholders and change their perception and behaviour to a much more friendly attitude about energy efficiency. Materialise project efforts by motivating the establishment of networks, initiatives, partnerships concerning energy efficiency in buildings. 12

3. How BSBEEP will achieve its goals BSBEEP added value To achieve effective use of energy in a local community is a matter of persuading people to share a vision of better and cleaner environment. It forces for adopting global perspectives and integrating planning. The effort should be collective and radical. Changing the way of using energy in buildings will help communities to change way of thinking their interaction with environment while saving money from family budget. 13

3. How BSBEEP will achieve its goals BSBEEP is not alone: Target groups and beneficiaries Target groups: Political personnel (Mayors and Vice-mayors, counsellors), Municipal servants, mainly officers from Technical Departments and Financial Departments. Employees of municipal technical services and the private- sector construction industry. Journalists both those working in municipal/public-owned media and private-owned media, at local and national level. The precise numbers will be defined under GA4.1 activity at first steering committee, where partners will have a much more clear and definitive position depending to allocated amount. 14

3. How BSBEEP will achieve its goals BSBEEP are not alone: Target groups and beneficiaries Final beneficiaries: Collective bodies (e.g. chambers of commerce, associations of engineers, working unions, financial institutions) Specific professional groups (e.g. builders, construction entrepreneurs, specialised journalists) Energy related institutions and bodies (public and private electricity companies, ESCO’s), construction companies, construction materials producers, financial institutions General audience (both as potential investors and as sensitive and active energy consumers) Selection criteria: Good will to participate, sharing the vision to implement BSBEEP goals, appropriate to each activity knowledge and skills demands, eagerness to learn and apply this new knowledge and skills in future projects. 15
