Recommendation 260 of the WEU Assembly on the energy crisis and European security (Bonn, 26 May 1975)

Text
On 26 May 1975, given the impact of the oil shock, the Assembly of Western European Union (WEU) adopts Recommendation 260 on the energy crisis and European security. The Assembly particularly recommends that the WEU Council urge the Nine to define their common energy policy as soon as possible, encouraging France to take part in the International Energy Agency (IEA). While the Recommendation advocates concerted action between producer and consumer countries with a view to organising the world oil market, it also emphasises the importance for each member country to constitute or maintain strategic reserves of oil products at a level it shall define.
