Energy Ministers discuss energy investments and access-Plan 3 Rome

Guiding steps are:

a) Strengthen and extend dialogue and partnership among fossil-fuel
producing and consuming countries, as well as transit countries and
between international organizations.

b) Support efforts by relevant national and multilateral authorities
to improve transparency of energy commodities markets and supervision
of over-the-counter markets and consider further harmonized actions.

c) Look forward to the activity conducted in the framework of the
International Energy Forum by the high-level steering group
established as a follow-up to the London Energy Meeting. This
activity should address technical factors affecting energy market
volatility, the linkage between financial and energy markets as well
as ways to enhance the architecture of consumer – producer and
transit countries dialogue through the International Energy Forum,
with recommendations to be presented before the 12th IEF Ministers
Meeting in Mexico in 2010.

d) Support and improve international predictable legal and
regulatory frameworks as an essential prerequisite for well
functioning energy markets and for reducing investment risks and
uncertainties both in producing, transit and consuming countries.
