US Dept of State - U.S., Russia Formalize Efforts to Prevent Oil Spills (519 words)
An Energy Department press release said the cooperative effort demonstrates the two countries' "common commitment to environmentally sustainable development and transport of oil." It also said the next workshop is scheduled to be held in Trondheim, Norway, in June 2004 in conjunction with an international conference on oil spill prevention and response.
The workshop is the culmination of agreements signed by U.S. Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham and Russian Minister of Energy Igor Yusufov to discuss energy issues of interest to both countries and to implement the oil spill prevention and response agreement the two countries developed over the past year.
Secretary Abraham also announced the formation of an interagency working group comprised of the Departments of Transportation, Commerce, and Energy, along with the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard, to address and implement the primary areas for future cooperation.
