A review of the evolution of energy intensity in European and Former Soviet Union countries indicates a positive trend: high-energy-intensity countries have now reached the level of medium-energy-intensity economies 15 years earlier, and in the same period, medium-energy-intensity ones had similarly evolved to levels of low-energy-intensity. At the same time, the fast transitioning economies of Central Europe converged towards similar levels of energy inten 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aEnergy consumption$zEurope 606 $aEnergy consumption$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aEnergy policy$zEurope 606 $aEnergy policy$zFormer Soviet republics 615 0$aEnergy consumption 615 0$aEnergy consumption 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aEnergy policy 676 $a333.79/17 700 $aStuggins$b Gary$01671559 701 $aSharabaroff$b Alexander$01686922 701 $aSemikolenova$b Yadviga$01686923 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813541803321 996 $aEnergy efficiency$94060016 997 $aUNINA
