Caribbean Org Tackling Energy

St. John´s, Apr 17 (Prensa Latina) Representatives of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OACS) are meeting Tuesday in Antigua and Barbuda to revamp PetroCaribe development and other regional issues.

Attendees will go into the details of an eventual OACS agreement with the private sector on storage and distribution of oil derivatives within the parameters of PetroCaribe.
Caracas has been supplying the Caribbean Community with oil and
derivatives at preferential prices since June 2005.

Requested by St. John´s government, a Venezuelan delegation will report on PetroCaribe advances at the encounter, where the energy policy set by OACS after its foundation will be discussed as well.
