2 2006 The European Coal Future that lies ahead Europe is truly a global giant in the market for coal and falling local production is placing a greater dependency on imports in an already tight global coal market. However, Europe s steam coal future depends on the development of highly efficient clean coal technologies to ensure coal fits into the energy mix being shaped by future environmental policies. With forecasts predicting that supply side developments will drive price reductions for both coking and thermal coal in 2006, this conference will be well timed to discuss all the issues at hand. Ensure your organisation is well informed of how future operations will be affected by these critical developments and more. By joining the key industry leaders from the European coal market who will be gathering to discuss future strategies and issues for the European power, steel and coal sectors you ll be well placed to face the coal future that lies ahead. Expected audience Delegates from both the international and European coal markets are expected to attend this industry event including: Coal producers Power companies Steel manufacturers Cement manufacturers and other coal consumers Shipping companies, agencies, brokers and transport service providers Suppliers of mining, processing and transport equipment Coal and electricity traders and brokers Ports, terminals and inland operators Government representatives Finance organisations F o r f u t u r e i n f o r m a t i o n v i s i t : w w w. e u r o f o r u m. c o m /e u r o c o a l
