The Aporia · IEA to meet Wednesday over proposed release of reserves, say two EU diplomats

The International Energy Agency's governing board will hold an informal meeting on Wednesday at 1300 local time to discuss a proposed release of oil and diesel reserves.

The G7 pledged to release 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel but there is confusion in the industry about how many barrels Europe and the US plan to contribute specifically.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) will hold an informal meeting on Wednesday at 1300 local time in Brussels to discuss the proposed release of 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency reserves, according to two European Union diplomats. The Group of Seven major economies agreed last week to this release under pressure from US President Donald Trump, aiming to address shortages and high prices.

However, industry confusion persists over specific contributions by Europe and the United States towards the overall 100 million barrels target.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
