Enhancing the EU-GCC Relations within a New Climate Regime: prospects and opportunities for cooperation

26 February 2009
Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), Brussels, Belgium, 
 

This workshop focused on issues related to energy and the environment. On the one hand, concerns over energy security rank high on the European policy agenda and without a doubt the energy relationship with the Gulf producing countries remains underdeveloped. In times of a rise in demand for energy resources, in particular for Asia, the strategic significance of the Gulf region will only increase and thus Europe needs to develop close ties with the energy sector of the Gulf countries.
