Two chapters deal with energy cooperation in the Mediterranean
by Abdelnour Keramane, a former energy minister of Algeria
on: "Energy Cooperation and Stability in the Mediterranean"
(12 pp.) and by Hans Günter Brauch (Free University of
Berlin) on: "Sustainable EU Energy Policy between Market
Liberalisation and Environmental Obligations. Implications
for the Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation" (80 pp.).
Four chapters
by Mustafa Aydin (Ankara) and Annie Jafalian (Paris) deal
with political instability and the "great game"
on the oil and gas reserves in the Caspian and Central Asian
regions and on the debate about the routing of the pipelines.
Javier de Quinto (Madrid) analyses the economic and political
aspects of hydrocarbons in the Caspian region while Antonio
Marquina (Madrid) discusses the foreign and security policy
of the European Union towards the Caucasus. The first two
chapters by Bassam Tibi (Göttingen) and José Antonio
Sáinz de la Peña deal with stability issues
in the Mediterranean. The appendix contains 11 documents that
are crucial for the EU Mediterranean energy policy.
The chapter
by Brauch analyses the EU policy developments until June 2000
from an internal energy market towards a common EU policy,
the environmental goals as determinants for energy policy,
the legal foundations and a survey of the status of their
implementation in the EU electricity market in 15 EU countries,
and a more detailed analysis of the implementation of EU electricity
liberalisation in Germany and Spain. On the background of
recent EU energy and climate policy documents it discusses
the 'window of opportunity' for renewables, and the new EU
climate policy goals as of mid 2000 and the medium-term potential
of the Kyoto flexible mechanisms: CDM, joint implementation
and emissions trading both for the bilateral energy cooperation
between Germany and Spain but also with respect to the Southern
and Eastern Mediterranean region.
The chapter
briefly reviews the activities of the Euro-Mediterranean Energy
Forum (1997-2000) and discusses implications and opportunities
of both energy liberalisation and sustainability goals for
Euro-Mediterranean energy partnership. Brauch argues that
if the new 'windows of opportunity' for sustainable energy
policies for the EU member and Mediterranean partner countries
are fully exploited, new competitive industries will emerge
that will create not only domestic markets but also export
markets for the new renewable energy systems and for their
short-term products 'electricity' and their long-term potential
for 'hydrogen' generated from renewables.
