Energy in South East Europe



Rome Energy Week

Rome, March 25-28, 2003

The Energy Week was a set of meetings of the organizations comprising the Athens Process, at which policy making (the Permanent High Level Group) was combined with technical decision making (Athens Forum) and donor coordination. Technical studies from donors' projects in the field were also presented to aid decision-making, and for training purposes.

The main policy decisions were:

  • To agree to consider a standard market design for the regional market;
  • To agree to widen the Athens Process to include the gas market as well as the electricity market; and,
  • To incorporate gas market and environmental issues into a revised Memorandum of Understanding to be signed at the November 2003 Ministerial meeting in Athens.
