Speech of Dr. Hermann Scheer, German MP and  General Chairman of the World Council for Renewable Energy, to the Global Windpower Conference 2002, Paris, April 2nd, 2002

I have the honour and the opportunity to speak to you in different responsibilities, but nevertheless with the same commitment and in the same direction – based on long experience in this matter: on the one hand as General Chairman of the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE), founded in June 2001 as well as President of EUROSOLAR, the European Association for Renewable Energies, on the other hand as one of the architects and the rapporteur of the German Parliament for the Renewable Energy Act, the legal framework for the worldwide most successful policy promotion of Renewable Energies in the electric power sector.
