The final statement from the Third Summit of the OPEC heads of government this weekend is expected to contain a strong message about the environment, an OPEC source told Agence France-Presse today. The final declaration will focus on oil resources over the long term, and there will be a strong message about the environment, the source said. The oil, economy and foreign ministers from OPEC's 12 member states should finalise their joint declaration at a meeting at 3.30 pm local time today, and this will be issued at the end of the summit on Sunday. Yesterday, OPEC secretary-general Abdullah el-Badri, told reporters that the heads of government would discuss refining, long-term oil supplies, the economy and world economic growth over the long term. He denied suggestions that OPEC would make an announcement about creating a fund to invest in research and development of technologies to fight against global warming. That will come later, not in December, he said.
