Oil operators

All oil operators authorized to receive tax-free oil products for inland consumption or airplane transportation are subject to the strategic reserve obligation.

Administration

SAGESS works closely with the French administration, invited to each Board meeting:

• Industry Ministry, represented by the Directorate General for Energy and Climate - DGEC,
• Budget Ministery, represented by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise - DGDDI,
• Ministery of Economy and Finance, represented by the Directorate General for Competition, Consumption and Repression of Fraud - DGCCRF.

Foreign agencies

Every member of the International Energy Agency (IEA) organizes, under its auspices, modalities for its managing reserves. Some countries have established dedicated agencies. Other countries, like the United States, prefer to manage and fund 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.
