NESO - National Emergency Strategy Organisation

The Ministry of Climate has a standing committee to analyse and assess the need to release liquid fuel stocks in the event of difficulties in supply.

In the event of a difficulty in supply, the advisory committee (NESO - National Emergency Strategy Organisation) submits a reasoned proposal to the Minister of Energy and Environment, in the event of an imminent danger, as a matter of urgency, to the Minister of Economy and Industry for a decision on whether or not to release liquid fuel stocks.

A proposal for the release of liquid fuel stocks must set out the following:

  • the reason for the release of the stocks
