General Conclusion and Recommendations

Cambridge University Press eBooks, pp. 265–283

Abstract

The findings of this book reveal that at the multilateral level there is a pressing need for rules that address the realities of cross-border trade in energy and tackle energy trade regulation in a proper and proactive manner. The concluding chapter therefore offers suggestions for enhanced energy governance from an institutional angle. It explores this question at three levels. First, it discusses the pros and cons of the WTO as a forum for tackling energy issues more proactively. It then contemplates possible scenarios for interaction between the WTO and the ECT for that purpose. Lastly, it briefly considers the possibility of innovating energy regulation through PTAs.
