Mexico Requests To Join IEA

Public Policy

Mexico submitted on Monday a request to join the International Energy Agency as the energy policy adviser to industrialised countries seeks to expand its member base.

Mexican Secretary of Energy Pedro Joaquín Coldwell presented IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol with a letter requesting to join the organisation that currently includes 29 member countries, the IEA said in a statement.

“This presents an excellent opportunity for the IEA to strengthen its ties with Mexico, and opens the door to greater engagement across Latin America. It is a key step towards our objective of building a truly global international energy organisation,” Birol said.

The Paris-based IEA was founded in 1974 in the wake of the 1973 oil shock in order to advise western economies on how to deal with supply disruption. The organisation has in recent years tried to expand and include developing economies, creating partnerships with countries including China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Thailand.

Mexico is the third-largest oil producer of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, according to the IEA.

Once the IEA’s governing board approves the request, the IEA will work with Mexico on steps required to meet its conditions for membership, including the need to hold oil reserves eqiuvalent to 90 days of net imports.

    The IEA, like most Western dominated institutions, is fast becoming irrelevant. This is a direct consequence of the decline in influence and credibility, the many illegal and criminal actions, and the increasing lack of morality and ethics displayed by the governments that dominate them, very particularly the USA.

    Instead of the IEA we will just rely on “JuanP’s Morons for Uruguay” for global institutional policy relevancy.

    Uruguay, with a population the size of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, is an irrelevancy. Go rope a llama, fucktard.

    Isn’t it interesting that the flag-waving, war-mongering, genocidal, “WEST” always believe the world is going
    to fall apart without them wasting the world’s resources on wars, waste, and willful ignorance.

    Are the Americans, French, Dutch, English stupid enough to believe the world needs them to survive? What exactly do these places produce that anyone needs? Is it food? Is it manufactured goods? Is it energy? Is it common sense?

    What exactly is “the Waste” (I mean, “the West”) doing for humanity other than trying to destroy it.

    Noob, we give the world the cell phone.
    For some strange reason every 3rd world retard has one or wants one.

    I sometimes wonder, those marvels of high tech engineering, in the hands of some negro ape who can’t even spell his own name. What a world.

    Marmi, We do have llamas in Uruguay, but they are not native. They have adapted very well to the local weather and tend to be healthy animals. I consider them fascinating creatures.

    An article about Mexico/IEA and comments follow about racism, llamas and a majority of posts containing insults. What a pathetic bunch of retarded yanks haunt this site. The world will laugh as you suffer. Just like they did when you got played by Iran and bled in Iraq. Retards. Anyone who joins your military is a sucker.

    I promised myself I will never comment on any blogs anymore but I am weak sometimes.

    This blog and must blogs are now a joke.
    Must blog are populated with 5 or 6 commenter using multiple username. Most full time bloggers seems mentally unstable and retarded.

    This blog and ourfiniteworld blog are good example. I lost all compassion for the young in western countries. You are now on your own youngtards and don’t expect older man to help you. I hope you don’t reproduce ever and I hope that the human specie die off completely.

    More of us die, more happy I am.

NOoober is from Africa. AND your liberal dumbass is from Montreal. IMA not even really worthy to be called Canadian. The only “yanks” are marmi and me. Your a fucking pussy liberal dumbass. I wish I could spit in your eye.

    Davy, I bet you really learned to be one tough scrapper growing up in a 1%er household. Did the butler teach you how to fist fight?

  11. Davy on Tue, 17th Nov 2015 7:15 pm 

    Actually, my brother got lucky with the 1%’re benefits. I was out on my own by the time dad was in the money. His attitude was “you are on your own son”. How about you Ape Man? Where did you learn to be such an asshole? Surely you didn’t have a butler.
