Ángel Rodríguez, president of the National Assembly
Energy and Mines Committee, said by June 15th he is to file
before the plenary session of Parliament a draft energy law
for discussion that is to set the rules of the game regarding
water, electricity and nuclear energy, among other issues.
In a communiqué, Rodríguez hinted that the regulation
is to take into account Latin American integration, the possibility
of sabotage by foreign countries, the development of nuclear
energy and Venezuelan participation in the Southern Common
Market.
He added that the committee he heads has sought advise from
external consultants regarding the relevant international,
political and economic principles of this energy law.
