The EBRD is currently preparing a new Energy Policy which will replace two existing policies; the Natural resources operations policy of March 1999, and the Energy operations policy of May 2000.
The EBRD would like to hear from all interested parties. We are expecting to receive comments on the existing policy documents before the 30 January 2005. Comments should be sent to energypolicyreview@ebrd.com.
As part of a wide-reaching public consultation process to draft a new energy policy, the EBRD will hold consultation workshops as follows:
London, 19 January 2005, Tanaka Business School, Imperial College London, South Kensington campus, London SW7 2AZ
Sofia, 21 January 2005, Sofia Press Agency, 29 Slavjanska Street, 1000 Sofia
Moscow, 26 January 2005, Russian Academy of Sciences, Leninskii prospect 32, 3rd floor, Room: Blue Hall, Moscow
The EBRD is organising the consultation workshops with the help of EIR Development Partners. Further information on the consultation workshops and assistance made available by the Bank to allow local NGO representatives to participate in the meetings will be provided directly by EIR Development Partners. The contact person in the EIR is Ms. Gina Dafalia, Tel: + 30-697-344-7072 / +30-210-645-8530, Fax: + 30-210-642-5230 and e-mail: g.dafalia@eir.gr.
