[01] EU emergency oil stocks at comfortable levels and largely unaffected
by last year’s releases
Last Tuesday’s (25 April) meeting of the Member States Oil Supply Group
confirmed the current levels of emergency oil stocks in Europe at 117 days
of consumption, a figure well above the mandatory 90 days. The meeting
reviewed the level of oil stocks in Member States and their replenishments
following late 2005 releases in the context of the IEA concerted action
after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
[02] Enhancement of free movement and residence rights for EU citizens: a
new milestone in EU integration process
On 30 April 2006, the deadline expired for Member States to bring into
force the transposition measures necessary to comply with Directive
2004/38/EC on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members
to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States adopted
on 29 April 2004 by the European Parliament and the Council. The basic
concept of the Directive, based on a Commission proposal, is that Union
citizens should be able to move between Member States on similar terms as
nationals of a Member State moving around or changing their place of
residence in their own country.
[03] La Commission alloue 1 million d'euros pour faire face aux
conséquences des inondations en Equateur
La Commission européenne alloue 1 million d'euros pour venir en aide à 10
000 familles, au total près de 60 000 personnes parmi les plus
vulnérables, vivant dans les provinces de la côte équatorienne les plus
affectées par les inondations. Ces fonds sont mis à disposition par ECHO,
le service d’Aide humanitaire de la Commission européenne, sous la
responsabilité directe du Commissaire Louis Michel.
