Round table 3  |
 |
| Security of supply |
| Geopolitical risks, the prospect of marked growth in world gas consumption, harsh competition between leading market places to access gas resources have pressure on gas prices. What lessons can we learn from recent trends in energy pricing and what possible scenarios might be facing the gas share in satisfying future energy needs? |

Round table 4  |
 |
| Strategy of European energy companies |
| Following a period of respite, merging and concentration in the energy sector is in the news again. How far will this dynamic impetus go? What will the future European energy landscape be like? Will it comprise large energy groups, medium-size firms and smaller companies, operating in some of the active niches as is the case now, or will it essentially be made up of large-size, multi-energy groups and producers selling their gas directly to end customers? What are the views and vision of these various stakeholders on security of supply? What types of synergy are likely as to size and/or multi-energy supplies? |

Workshop 7  |
 |
| Gas R&D challenges |
Gas research is both diverse and little-known. How should it be organised and funded so as to maintain the gas industry’s dynamic? What contributions can be expected in areas such as:
• protecting natural gas transport and distribution infrastructures, detecting gas blends and assessing risks,
• reducing CO2 emissions using technical processes with low emission levels and CO2 capture,
• making the transition toward a hydrogen oriented economy.

Workshop 8 |
 |
| Sustainable development: the contribution of the gas technology |
How will the gas technology contribute in the short and medium term to the demand side management in the residential, tertiary and industry markets? What are the most effective applications in gas technology today and what are the potential energy savings by market? |

Round table 5  |
 |
| Towards a European gas policy? |
| The need for a European energy policy has been widely recognized. However, some Member States have had a tendency to give preference to national interests against common obligations. Under these conditions, what is the room manoeuvre for the European Union in defending its common interest? Which operational instruments can be used in the absence of any real common energy policy? What would a consistent European policy be like? And how would it possibly work against national objectives? Will the European Commission proposal presented in January 2007 remedy the current situation? |
