<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:

the world. International studies of the effects of oil price rises are being
carried out, but are hampered by the poor quality of the data. GTZ’s Fuel
Price Survey continues to provide the only available summary of developing
countries’ fuel price policies (PDF download:<b><span style='font-weight:

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit GmbH -- German Technical
Cooperation (GTZ) -- with its global network of projects in 135 countries,
regional offices and representations in 64 developing countries, publishes a
bi-annual study on the global fuel sector since 1999. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
