  • Куды падзеўся крызіс?
    Ці працягваецца ў Беларусі эканамічны крызіс? Якім будзе эканамічнае становішча ў краіне падчас прэзыдэнцкіх выбараў? Як можа адбіцца на Беларусі крызіс эўра?
  • Ці не састарэў лёзунг “Беларусь – у Эўропу”?
    Любое замежнапалітычнае пытаньне актуальнае для выбаршчыка толькі тым, наколькі яно вырашае тыя жыцьцёвыя праблемы, зь якімі сутыкаецца выбаршчык.

The Energy club is a joint initiative of the Office for Democratic Belarus (Brussels), BISS and Foundation for Development of Legal Technologies carried out under patronage of the European Commission delegation in Belarus with support of the Swedish International Development Agency and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. The mission of the Energy Club is to establish a platform for a dialogue between the representatives of the government, national and regional expert community, on the key issues pertaining to the development of the energy sector in Belarus and regional cooperation in the energy sphere, including issues of energy efficiency and security.

The first meeting of the Energy Club gathered a diverse audience and attracted prominent domestic and international experts in field of energy-policies, the representatives of the Belarusian ministries, diplomats, journalists and the independent analysts. A full day was dedicated to debating the most controversial energy-related issues. The range of topics included: the problems of energy security in Belarus (i.e. components, challenges and threats); the perspectives and the risks of involving Belarus in the regionalization of the energy systems and the lessons of the ‘gas wars’ for the region. The participants outlined the agenda for developing regional cooperation, in including ‘measures of trust’ in prevention of disruption of energy supplies, spread of regional know-how in ensuring rapid response to unexpected disruption of supplies, and provision of response to the regional energy security challenges, such as construction of BTS-2 by Russia. At the same time, the participants agreed that both Russia and the EU should become full members of the regional energy security architecture.

The Energy Club organizers are looking forward towards continuing this dialogue with the aim of achieving broader understanding of the energy-related issues reaching the consensus on the energy-policies. The next seating of the club is expected in the beginning of February, 2010. A policy paper summarizing findings of the debate is expected to be released early in 2010.

The presentations of the speakers will be soon available at the web site of BISS and Nashe Mneniye. Sample Image Sample Image
