The organization will serve as a market platform for natgas producers, consumers, and transit countries in the region to develop existing resources and develop the infrastructure for future exploitation, in addition to regulating natgas policies in the region that protect the rights of member states to preserve their resources, the signatories said in a joint statement after the online ceremony. The seventh member, Palestine, did not attend the ceremony but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wafa.ps\/Pages\/Details\/9697\">will sign at a later date<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How is this all going to happen?<\/strong> Through the forum, member states will exchange information and seismic data studies on potential gas wells and delineate new gas finds that straddle maritime borders, Medhat Youssef, former chairman of Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation tells Enterprise. Member states could even get preferential rates on each other\u2019s gas supplies, as well as preferential access to liquefaction facilities, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The forum is already looking at growing its mandate beyond natgas exploitation<\/strong> to potentially cover electricity and renewable energy, Cypriot Energy, Commerce, and Industry Minister Natasa Pilides <a href=\"https:\/\/in-cyprus.philenews.com\/east-med-gas-forum-members-sign-statute-officially-establishing-the-regional-forum\/\">told reporters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s in?<\/strong> In addition to Egypt, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/03\/07\/inaugural-meeting-of-the-east-med-seven-took-place-yesterday\/\">the founding member states<\/a> are Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Israel, Jordan, and Palestine. France <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/26f655dd-7dde-4517-86ad-8fd190f86a11\">had formally requested<\/a> to join the forum as a member while the US asked to be a permanent observer.

The forum is not designed to gang up against any other players and is instead meant to create a coalition that works together \u201cwithout causing problems,\u201d Egypt\u2019s ambassador to Cyprus Mai Khalil <a href=\"https:\/\/in-cyprus.philenews.com\/east-med-gas-forum-members-sign-statute-officially-establishing-the-regional-forum\/\">said<\/a>.
