EU-OPEC ENERGY DIALOGUE
Overview
The EU imports around 40% of its oil from the Organisation of
the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
High oil prices and uncertainty in oil markets have been encouraged by growth in
oil demand and a reduction of spare capacity. In this context, the EU and OPEC
have established in the second half of 2004 a high-level bilateral dialogue to
enhance producer-consumer relations.
The EU aims at a more stable international oil markets and
prices, an attractive investment climate, a more transparent market, a better
market analysis and forecasts as well as, technological and international
cooperation.
OPEC’s role is the coordination of petroleum policies, fair
prices for petroleum producers and efficient, economic, regular supply to
consuming nations and a fair return in capital to those investing in the
industry.
A yearly meeting at ministerial level has been programmed.
