1. Broad international support for International Conference for Renewable Energies The last meeting of the International Steering Committee before the Bonn conference confirms expected conference outcomes. Eight weeks before the Bonn conference, the proposals of the expected outcomes presented by the conveners of renewables 2004 have gained broad support from the International Steering Committee which met for the last time last Friday at Reinhartshausen castle in Eltville near Frankfurt. The Committee believes that the implementation of conference results should be safeguarded by means
of a follow-up process. The approximately 50 members of the International Steering Committee - representatives of governments and international and non-governmental organisations - therefore support the objectives of the German Federal Government. Read the press release at
