Cât petrol și motorină are Europa, dacă pică toate liniile de aprovizionare. La cine sunt cheile rezervelor și cine decide asupra lor

The European Union maintains strategic oil reserves to address supply crises, but control remains with individual member states. The European Commission oversees compliance with reserve levels, while the International Energy Agency coordinates international releases. Recent discussions follow a G7 announcement to release 100 million barrels to stabilize prices. The distribution of reserves is uneven, with France and Germany holding a significant portion. Ultimately, national governments decide when and how to release these reserves, although the IEA can facilitate coordinated actions during major supply shocks. A meeting is planned to assess EU contributions to upcoming releases.
