INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an autonomous body which was established in
November 1974 within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) to implement an intern ational energy programme.
It carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among twenty-six of
the OECD thirty member countries. The basic aims of the IEA are:
n To maintain and improve systems for coping with oil supply disruptions.
n To promote rational energy policies in a global context through co-operative relations
with non-member countries, industry and intern ational organisations.
n To operate a permanent information system on the international oil market.
n To improve the world’s energy supply and demand structure by developing alternative
energy sources and increasing the effi ciency of energy use.
n To assist in the integration of environmental and energy policies.
The IEA member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea,
Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey, United Kingdom and United States. The Slovak Republic and Poland are likely to
become member countries in 2007/2008. The European Commission also participates in
the work of the IEA.
ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT
The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of t hirty democracies work together
to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD
is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new
developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy
and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where
governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify
good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.
The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic
of Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak
Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States.
The European Commission takes part in the work of the OECD.
