Energy Ministers discuss energy investments and access-Plan 4 Rome

e) Promote initiatives towards region-wide agreements with transit
countries, focused on improving the investment climate for
development, maintenance and oversight of infrastructure aiming at
uninterrupted transit of energy.

f) Support the collaboration between IOCs and NOCs and between
national and international energy companies to achieve reciprocal
benefits, to promote the use of the most advanced technologies and
the development of human resources.

g) Promote market transparency of oil and its products by collecting
and diffusing, as appropriate, reliable and timely data on demand,
supply, stocks, refining and spare capacity, investments plans in
production and transit to reduce market volatility. To this end, we
continue to support the Joint Oil Data Initiative (JODI) as managed
by the IEF.

We welcome progress made and call all countries to co-operate in
improving quality, completeness and timeliness of data. We encourage
the IEF Secretariat to continue its work on extending JODI-type
activities to the natural gas system and to report on
progress made to the 12th IEF Ministers Meeting in Mexico in
2010. We encourage as well to continue the activity regarding
information on upstream and downstream capacities and expansion
and investment plans.
