INNOVATIVE ASPECTS OF COOPERATION BETWEEN GEORGIA AND THE EU IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

The article describes innovative energy development, described in the context of long cycles, appears today in a dual context: technological (increase effectively-sti existing processes, the emergence of fundamentally new tech-nologies and energy) and organizational (development of synergies, as well as Smart directions, management organizations and integrated innovation management systems). European energy policy has been high on the EU agenda in the past few years. The European Commission adopted two Strategic Energy Reviews on January 2007 and October 2008 proposing a number of strategic initiatives for a new EU energy policy. Most of the proposals in the two Strategic Energy Reviews have been translated into community legislation. However, in the Commission's view, the growing challenges of energy security, climate change, the urge to recover economic growth, the urgency of stepping up efforts to deliver the 20-20-20 objectives for 2020 and the need to move to a more sustainable energy path call for a new European Energy Strategy.
