Foreign agencies

Every member of the International Energy Agency (IEA) organizes, under its auspices, modalities for managing reserves. Some countries have established dedicated agencies. In France, the CPSSP / SAGESS system is considered a national agency. Other countries, like the United States, prefer to manage and funds these reserves directly by the state. Finally, in some countries, the strategic reserve obligation is held entirely by private operators.

However, in order to be able to overcome any supply crisis, the EU revised the oil reserve system. This recent revision is based on a strengthened system that will bring together and optimize the existing IEA rules and obligations of State Members. In order to acquire, manage and maintain oil reserves, each State Member will have to establish a Central Storage Entity (CSE) as an organization or a non-profit corporation. The work of implementing this new European directive on oil reserves, conducted under the responsibility of the DGEC and the CPSSP, includes an increase in national obligation (increased to 28.5% on July 1, 2011 and which must reach 29.5% on July 1, 2012). At the Board meeting in June 2010, the DGEC confirmed that SAGESS will be considered as the French Central Storage Entity (CSE) per the Directive and also confirmed that this would be take effect no later than the end of 2012, in support of the strengthened role for the central reserves system.
