On May 9-21, 2006, 16 trainees of EU - China Environment program “CO2 Managers for the Industry of the People’s Republic of China? led by Mr. Li Baoshan from MOST and Mr. Li Wei and Mr. Xin Mingyi from China Energy Research Society, participated the third phase of the training project-- Study tour in Europe. Starting from attending the Global Carbon Market Fair and Conference in Cologne, the study group visited some representative industrial projects, listened to lectures related to CDM/JI and advanced environment-friendly and energy-efficiency technologies, and visited relevant organizations in Germany, Ireland and Austria. This study tour has the features of wide range, rich content and new pattern; making us obtain further rational and perceptual knowledge and consolidate the content that was taught in the first two phases. Everyone felt that the field of vision was widened, experiences were enriched, confidence was strengthened and the direction was clearer.
