To this end, the Commission's Joint Research Centre, through its
Institute for Prospective Technological Studies, will provide regular online analysis of the information, including an overview of the progress of member states in working towards EU goals.
The other four institutes that make up the JRC are the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurement (IRMM) in Geel, Belgium), the Institute for Transuranium Elements (ITU) in Karlsruhe, Germany), the Institute for Health and Consumer Protection (IHCP) in Ispra, and the
Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (in Seville, Spain).
Summary:Carbon sequestration by land use cannot be considered as the ultimate solution for reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, yet it can be effective in the short term, according to a report recently published by the European Commission Joint Research Centre's
Institute for Prospective Technological Studies in Seville.
There is a special IPPC Bureau at the Commission's Joint Research Centre
Institute for Prospective Technological Studies in Seville, Spain.
It also needs to keep an eye on the needs of other institutions in the legislation process, as this kind of support is presently provided almost exclusively to European Commission services.--The JRC has several institutes, spread over five sites: Geel (B(Belgium), the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements; Karlsruhe (Germany), the Institute for Transuranium Elements; Ispra (Italy), Institute for Systems, Informatics and Safety, the Environment Institute, Space Applications Institute; Petten (NL), the Institute for Advanced Materials; Seville (Spain),
Institute for Prospective Technological Studies. This system of organisation is a reflection of the succession of reforms that have prodded the JRC into branching out into new areas.
