Resolution of 1999 of the Baltic Assembly on Baltic Energy Strategy

RESOLUTION ON BALTIC ENERGY STRATEGY The Baltic Assembly, being aware that closer co-operation within the energy sectors of the Baltic States would contribute to an overall development of economic relations of the Baltic States and their efforts to accede to the European Union, admitting that better co-ordination of national policies is necessary for achieving the overall objectives under the conditions of increased competition, and for ensuring the security of energy supplies in joining the Baltic energy ring, recommends the authorities of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to adopt the submitted Baltic Energy Strategy as a framework for the energy sector development in a long-term perspective, taking into account the possible political, economic, ecological and social consequences, and calls upon the Baltic Council of Ministers to elaborate an action plan for implementing the Baltic Energy Strategy. Vilnius, 29 May 1999
