Se destacan los aspectos fundamentales de los principales instrumentos en la política energética europea que afectan a la bioenergía, en el marco de las energías renovables. Se presenta la situación actual en la Unión Europea (UE) de cada una de las cuatro fuentes energéticas diferentes correspondientes a la bioenergía: biomasa sólida, residuos sólidos urbanos, biogás y biocarburantes, señalando en cada caso los países más importantes así como las correspondientes medidas que tienen instauradas para su promoción. Por otra parte, se examina la contribución potencial de la expansión de cultivos bioenergéticos al cumplimiento de los objetivos de reducción de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, de promoción de las energías renovables y de fomento del uso de biocarburantes en la UE, tendiendo en cuenta sólo lo que puede producirse en el territorio de la UE. ; It highlights the fundamental aspects of the main instruments in the European energy policy that affects the bioenergy, in the frame of the renewable energies. This paper reflects the current situation of the EU in each of the four energy sources related to bioenergy: solid biomass, urban solid waste, biogas and biofuel, pointing out in each case the most important countries together with the corresponding measures they have established for such purpose. On the other hand, the paper analyses the potential contribution of the spread of bioenergy growing to the fulfilment of goals like the reduction in Greenhouse gasses emissions, the foster of renewable energy and the use of biofuel in the EU, bearing in mind just what can be produced in the EU territory.

Hospitals are considered public utility companies and are supposed to be non-profit institutions; usually they function in a politieal and highly complex environment. Managerial authority is shared between doctors and administrators and each of the two groups aims to formulate its own individual policies and pursue objectives that may not coincide or may even be in direct opposition to one another. This situation is certain to affeet hospital performance and it must be taken into account when proposing any kind of results analysis. Improving the efficieney of Hospital performance establishing quantitative target values to those objectives, some of them involving intangible benefits, is the main objective of any Hospital Administration. The purpose of this study is to analyze through the M.C.D.M. approach, the inner coherency of the goals expressed by administrative Authorities. Also, applying Multicriteria Decision techniques we intend to design the real performance of surgical services at a local general hospital offering the decision centre a suitable methodology that allows us to analyze whether or not it is possible to improve fue running of the services, taking into account all the real constraints, e.g. space, staff availability and financial support.
