In November 2011, members of the G-20, at their meeting in Cannes, requested that OPEC, IEA and IEF hold an annual joint symposium to discuss and compare the outlooks for gas and coal markets, and to examine the regulation of such markets.
Following this call, the three organizations convened the first joint symposium in Paris on 4 October 2012. More than 90 speakers, participants and national representatives representing the energy industry, governments and the academic world were in attendance.
After detailed and in-depth discussions, the three sponsoring organizations prepared a Joint Report summarizing the symposium's proceedings. This is available here.

The event brought together experts from industry, academia, governments, price reporting agencies, and the financial and regulatory sectors to discuss the interactions between the physical and financial energy markets. The Workshop was held under the Chatham House Rule.
The workshop built on the insights already gained on these issues in previous events, namely the first Joint IEA-IEF-OPEC Workshop on "Understanding the New Dynamic: How do the Physical and Financial Markets for Energy Interact" and the first Forum on "Energy Market Regulation: Clarity and Coordination", which were held on 22-23 November 2010 in London.
