Pretty sure that you are requried to have enough fuel to make your diversion airports at 10,000ft - to account for decompression events. With ETOPS that means enough fuel to make it at that level on one engine (I think).
That is an ETOPS requirement - decompression AND one engine out has to be taken in consideration and the worse case goes into your fuel calculation...
