At the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in South Africa in 2002, the Brazilian delegation proposed that "the share of the renewable sources of energy in the countries' energy matrix increase to 10% by 2010". As several international events on the environment held in the last few years indicate, the renewable sources of energy could solve the problem of dependence on fossil fuels of the countries' energy matrix. At the present time, Brazil is promoting international events in partnership with international organizations and other interested countries. These events will offer ample opportunity of discussing solutions to environmental problems and to the current dependence on fossil fuels, in cooperation and even with the participation of other countries. Achieving a leadership position in the international market necessarily involves undertaking important negotiations, particularly with large consumer countries – which are frequently producers as well – with potential producers and with some potential producers that only need technical, economic and financial advice to launch their own programs. In such a scenario and with a growing interest in biofuels, as shown by the International Energy Agency's recently published book, the OECD and the Paris seminar1 , the following actions should be undertaken in a concerted manner within the government and with the private sector: a) Organizing a schedule of visits to biofuel projects in Brazil for government and private sector representatives of countries with biofuel production or consumption potential. b) Organizing and promoting meetings of biofuel producing countries. c) Organizing and providing technical, economic and financial advice to developing countries that produce alcohol for the purpose of assessing the feasibility of joint ventures and capital good exports. d) Organizing and promoting, in partnership with IEA/OECD and the World Bank, meetings similar to the Paris seminar in selected countries, such as USA, Belgium-EU and Japan. e) Maintaining the world informed about the progress achieved by the biodiesel program. f) Initiating negotiations for the creation of an International Organization of Producers and Consumers of Biofuel (IOPCBio). 1 Seminar on Biofuels, organized in partnership with OECD, held in June 2005. 35
The purpose of these actions is to help consolidate the path of the international biofuel market, eliminating potential tariff and non-tariff barriers ahead of time, creating arenas for the solution of eventual problems arising in the transactions between the countries and, at the same time, providing Brazil conditions to lead the evolution of the international biofuel market. 36
