About MEDREG
MEDREG, created in May 2006 as a working group, is today a non-profit Association under the Italian law, established in Rome in November 2007 and it is supported by the European Commission. It currently gathers energy regulators from the following countries: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Malta, Montenegro, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey
The main objective of MEDREG is to promote a stable, harmonized regulatory framework in the EU-Mediterranean energy market, providing the maximum benefits to energy consumers in both regions.
Moreover, MEDREG will foster co-operation, information exchange and assistance among members providing a framework for discussion.
MEDREG will benefit from the support of the Italian Government, REMEP (Rome Euro-Mediterranean Energy Platform), the European Commission and the Council of European Energy regulators (CEER).
In particular, a strong institutional collaboration is foreseen between MEDREG and REMEP, which will also provide logistical back up.
