| BRUSSELS (EUX.TV)
-- On Wednesday 10 October 2007, the Eurropean Commission plans to take
two decisions which should increase the potential of hydrogen as an energy
carrier in Europe.
The Commission wants to create a
public/private partnership for research, called Joint Technology Initiative,
to benefit the development of hydrogen and fuel cells.
Brussels also will lay down common
rules on the construction of motor vehicles using hydrogen in the union's
internal market, on public safety and on the possibility of greener forms
of transport in the future.
Industry Commissioner Gunter Verheugen
and Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik will hold a press
conference.
The presentation is timed to coincide
with The European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Review Days 2007 on 10 and 11
October 2007.
