Just Answers - Azerbaijan Factor In Energy Policy Of European Union
Shortly after Belarus demonstrated an interest in the energy sector of Azerbaijan, the European Union (EU) and Azerbaijan signed an Action Plan within the Neighborhood Policy and a Memorandum directed towards further deepening the energy partnership. The Memorandum of Understanding on the Energy Co-operation signed between Azerbaijan and EU defines 4 priority directions: 1. To gradua According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product lly harmonize the Azerbaijani energy legislation with the EU legislation to conform the electric and gas markets; 2. To increase the security of energy supply and transit systems directed from Azerbaijan and Caspian basin to the EU. 3. To develop the policy of managing complex energy demands; 4. Technical co-operation and exchange of specialists. The increasing EU interest ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in towards Azerbaijan is supported by both the significance of the oil and gas reserves and the geo-strategic position of Azerbaijan. The growing energy dependence of the EU on various external sources imposes special risks. In 2005, 56,2% of the internal energy consumption over the EU, which has exceeded 1,6 mln tons of the oil equivalent, was covered at the expense of the external sources, lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. and this fact indicates the energy dependence coefficient. This figure had equaled 54% in 2004. Except Denmark, the energy import excels the energy export in all EU countries and there are no changes in the gross energy consumption as comprised to the previous year. In addition, a decrease of 4,2% has been observed over all kinds of the energy production. Generally if fundamental changes d here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe o not take place, the EU energy dependence is planned to reach 70% by 2030. As regards to the sources on which the EU depends, they are as following: - OPEC (especially Near Eastern countries and Algeria) - Russia - Norway Approximately 45% of the EU oil import is achieved at the expense of OPEC. The issue that OPEC gives a reaction to any fall tendency in the oil p d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro ices in the world market by immediately decreasing the production by proceeding from its own interests and outside pressures is not an advantageous approach for the EU. Therefore, in addition to the issues of reserves and supply, the oil prices are also one of the key topics of the discussions in the negotiations that EU has intensified with OPEC since 9 June 2005. Even at this time, an ag ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc eement had been reached on selling the oil to the EU in the interval of $35-55. The existence of the stability and security problems in many of the Near Eastern OPEC member-countries that are rich in the hydrocarbon resources is considered in EU as high risk factor.
Russia tries to take under the control mainly the gas market of the EU. 40% of the EU gas import is reported at the expense easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi of Russia. The main fact causing anxiety in the EU with regards to Russia is that the economical expansion of this country is always guided by the geopolitical ideas and political interests. At the same time, the monopolist position of Gazprom controlling nearly 70% of the Russian gas production testifies the continuation of the manipulation with the prices. In its turn, the EU calls on R nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically ssia to accelerate the internal reforms and supports it with various exclusions in the negotiations with the World Trade Organization. Norway covers 25% of the EU gas import and presently is the 3rd biggest gas exporter of the world. The priorities in the EU energy negotiations with Norway are the use of the reserves in Arctic field and transition to renewing energy sources. The main risk and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ regarding Norway is that the oil and gas in this country are produced with very high rates and in this way, the resources may finish sooner. As seen, the EU’s dependence on several energy centers and their possessing the risky aspects compel the EU to strengthen the relations with the alternatives. In this case, the eyes are directed towards Caspian basin, especially Azerbaijan and Kazakh ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi tan. Generally the importance of Azerbaijan in the EU energy policy is linked very much with Kazakhstan (Middle Asia) factor. Because from the first view, the oil and gas reserves of Azerbaijan are not seen very much before the annual demand of the EU. The proved oil reserves of Azerbaijan had been described at 1 bln tons and gas reserves at 1.37 trln cu.m in the BP’s statistical summary o ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a ver the world energy “Energy in Figures” published in June 2006. And the annual oil production of Azerbaijan (22,4 mln tons in 2005) equals 1,4% of the EU gross domestic oil consumption. However, if we take into consideration the following reasons, above-mentioned factors do not decrease the importance of Azerbaijan in the EU energy sphere: 1. The real resource reserves of each country ar dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod usually more than disclosed or calculated figures. Because the expert forecasts for such issues take a minimized direction. With other words, irrespective of the global reliability of the above-mentioned source, the probability is very high that the oil and gas reserves of Azerbaijan are much more than the disclosed figures. 2. “Coefficient of providing reserves (R/P)” of Azerbaijan cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin s high (42.4 for oil reserves; higher than 100 for gas reserves). 3. The EU assesses the alternative role of Azerbaijan in exporting the hydrocarbon resources of Kazakhstan, a country possessing 5% of the oil and gas reserves of the world. 4. In the case that the EU considers the diversification of the sources as one of the key principles in its energy policy and tries to decre tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen ase the dependence on several large sources, the diversification will be ensured at the expense of exactly Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and smaller countries such as New Guinean Gulf countries. Nevertheless, it is impossible to assess it as EU’s refusing the titanic hydrocarbon reserves of Russia. Simply these steps have been directed towards ensuring the permanency of the supply and common effi t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel iency. The EU energy import from Azerbaijan in 2005 has made up $2,86 bln, against $1,58 bln in 2003. The EU is the biggest trade partner of Azerbaijan and 93% of Azerbaijan’s energy export is directed to the EU. Presently the energy relations between the EU and Azerbaijan are at high level. However, the EU was forced to sign the above-mentioned Memorandum due to the issue that Azerbaijan ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust has entered into the growth phase in the oil and gas production, is away from the risks of the long-term relations and its transit importance has increased. It is enough to once again see the first priority of the Memorandum. It needs to add the followings here: - The issue that manat (national currency unit) has raised in parallel with the increase of the oil revenues, the inflation rate y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products is not stable and the artificial monopolization imposes threats for macro-economical equilibrium; - The issue that the country faces serious accusations due to the violation of the human rights and liberties and existence of the corruption; - The issue that 20% of the country territory is outside the legal control and the conflict may become active at any times; From the poin . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de of view of its geo-strategic importance, the issue that Azerbaijan transforms from oil and gas producer into a transit country can keep Azerbaijan’s actuality for the EU (not only EU) in the next decade when the production will gradually decrease and the resources will begin to exhaust in country, and at that time, Azerbaijan can get into the present situation of Georgia. But in the prese elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements. Companies that provide selfless information through particip t stage, the EU intends to normalize the conceptual bases of the long-term complex co-operation with Azerbaijan, including the energy co-operation, and maximally use the country to increase the efficiency of its energy policy. Statistical sources: - http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu - http://www.bp.com - http://www.bakusun.az - http://www.ng.ru - http://www.wtrg.co tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
