	Agencja Rynku Energii SA - ARE SA (The Energy Market Agency) was created following provisions of the governmental document --'Energy Policy Guidelines for Poland until 2010' -- accepted by the Council of Ministers on October 17, 1995. This document included a proposal to form the Energy Market Agency to conduct research and assemble vital information for the energy sector. ARE was established as a joint stock company in April 1997. The company currently employs 61 people: over 70 % with university degrees as power engineers, statisticians, economists and computer scientists. Organisation structure consists of the General Assembly, Supervisory Board, Board of Management and dependent entities: Board Office, Statistics and Forecast Division, Consulting Division, Databases Division and CIRE.PL (Energy Market Information Center). The most important activity of ARE is its research input for energy policy in Poland. In close cooperation with governmental authorities, particularly the Ministry of Economy, Labour and Social Policy, ARE conducts detailed analyses for relevant governmental institutions to update and formulate energy policies. The reults of these studies allow authorities to measure the country's energy security, costs of increased output, market prices for consumers and industry, and the impact on the environment. This research details the contribution of each primary energy commodity, competitiveness in view of Poland's planned membership in the EU, and compliance with requirements of environmental protection according to Poland's international commitments. ARE therfore cooperates with the International Atomic Energy Agency according to methodologies accepted in many countries and adopted to Polish conditions. Domestic statistical analyses are conducted and fully coordinated with the Central Statistical Office. www.are.waw.pl
