Compulsory Stock Obligation

The Compulsory Oil Stock Directive (CSO Directive, 2009/119/EC) requires Member States to hold stocks of crude oil and petroleum products equating to 90 days of average daily net imports.

A Major Contribution to Europe’s Security of Supply

The primary objective of the Compulsory Stock Obligation (CSO) directive is to safeguard against potential disruptions in oil supply, thereby maintaining economic stability and energy security across the EU.

The reserves of crude oil and petroleum products are generally held by oil companies, including independent fuel suppliers, and national agencies. They are financed by the end consumer. Depending on the system in each country, these reserves are supervised by the responsible national authorities.
