Oil Stakeholder Meeting

On 26 September 2012 the Trade and Transit Directorate of the Energy Charter Secretariat organised an oil stakeholder event on transit and cross-border cooperation. The meeting was held in the context of ongoing consultations with regard to a possible re-set of negotiations on a new Energy Charter instrument on energy transit.

The event brought together important stakeholders from governments and the oil industry. The discussion focused in particular on the dependence of a number of new energy suppliers in Eurasia on pipelines in order to bring crude oil to global markets, as well as on the dependence of refineries in Central and Eastern Europe on oil supplies by pipeline. It was concluded that common rules, possibly under the Energy Charter, would help the construction and operation of transport infrastructure, in particular in view of authorisation procedures.
