The participants reviewed the challenges and opportunities inherent in energy developments in the OSCE area. In this context they stressed the significance of the growing interdependence of the world economy and the progressive integration of global energy markets, as well as increased liberalization and competition among energy suppliers.
OSCE countries share common interests in the energy sector, such as ensuring the security of energy supplies (including diversification of supplies and markets, free energy trade and transit), competitiveness and efficiency, together with reconciling energy developments with environmental obligations. Further progress in this domain will be crucial for future prosperity, peace, security and stability in the OSCE area and beyond.
