| The overall objective of this
project is to support the achievement of the INOGATE Programme's
objectives by facilitating co-operation, disseminating and co-ordinating
information and promoting investment among the key players of the INOGATE
Programme, namely beneficiary countries, INOGATE contractors and potential
investors.
The project has three
specific objectives, namely:
- Facilitating
co-operation with producer and transit countries with a view to
supporting the achievement of the INOGATE Programme's specific
objectives
- Ensuring an
effective flow and co-ordination of information by establishing a
network of Regional INOGATE Co-ordinators
- Promoting European
investments in transport and production of oil and gas pipeline
systems
Some of the activities
that will be undertaken include:
- Establishment an
Information Centre for the INOGATE Programme including the creation of a
complete library of studies and reports from INOGATE projects in hard
and electronic formats.
- Promotion of the
INOGATE Programme through participation in international exhibitions and
conferences and organisation of INOGATE events
- Redesigning the
INOGATE web site in a more user-friendly format and updated with new
information
- Establishment of a
network of Regional INOGATE Co-ordinators
- Provision of
technical assistance in the capacity of "facilitators" in support of the
specific objectives of the INOGATE Programme covering the fields of oil
and gas, institutional development, finance and banking sectors.
The expected results
of these activities are:
- Reinforced
co-operation and understanding for the development of new and existing
oil and gas pipelines between producer and transit countries as well as
between them and the EU
- Improved regional
co-ordination and strengthened institutional development of the INOGATE
Programme
- Increased
awareness, interest and involvement of European private investors and
International Financial Institutions in supporting the development of
new and existing oil and gas pipelines systems which aim towards
securing Europe's energy supply.
