2.
That portion of oil stocks which can be credited toward each Participating Country’s
emergency reserve commitment is its total oil stocks under the above definition minus those stocks
which can be technically determined as being absolutely unavailable in even the most severe
emergency. The Standing Group on Emergency Questions shall examine this concept and report on
criteria for the measurement of absolutely unavailable stocks.

3.
Until a decision has been taken on this matter, each Participating Country shall subtract
10 per cent from its total stocks in measuring its emergency reserves.

4.
The Standing Group on Emergency Questions shall examine and report to the Management
Committee on:
(a) the modalities of including naphtha for uses other than motor and aviation gasoline in
the consumption against which stocks are measured,
(b) the possibility of creating common rules for the treatment of marine bunkers in an
emergency, and of including marine bunkers in the consumption against which stocks
are measured,
(c) the possibility of creating common rules concerning demand restraint for aviation
bunkers,
(d) the possibility of crediting towards emergency reserve commitments some portion of
oil at sea at the time of activation of emergency measures,
(e) the possibility of increasing supplies available in an emergency through savings in the
distribution system.



Article 2
1.
Fuel switching capacity is defined as normal oil consumption that may be replaced by other
fuels in an emergency, provided that this capacity is subject to government control in an emergency,
can be brought into operation within one month, and that secure supplies of the alternative fuel are
available for use.

2.
The supply of alternative fuel shall be expressed in terms of oil equivalent.

3.
Stocks of an alternative fuel reserved for fuel switching purposes may be credited towards
emergency reserve commitments insofar as they can be used during the period of self-sufficiency.

4.
Stand-by production of an alternative fuel reserved for fuel switching purposes will be
credited towards emergency reserve commitments on the same basis as stand-by oil production,
subject to the provisions of Article 4 of this Annex.

5.
The Standing Group on Emergency Questions shall examine and report to the Management
Committee on:
(a) the appropriateness of the time limit of one month mentioned in paragraph 1,
(b) the basis of accounting for the fuel switching capacity based on stocks of an
alternative fuel, subject to the provisions of paragraph 3.



34

Article 3
A Participating Country may credit towards its emergency reserve commitment oil stocks
in another country provided that the Government of that other country has an agreement with the
Government of the Participating Country that it shall impose no impediment to the transfer of those
stocks in an emergency to the Participating Country.



Article 4
1.
Stand-by oil production is defined as a Participating Country's potential oil production in
excess of normal oil production within its jurisdiction

- which is subject to government control, and

- which can be brought into use during an emergency within the period of self-
sufficiency.

2.
The Standing Group on Emergency Questions shall examine and report to the Management
Committee on:
(a) the concept of and methods of measurement of stand-by oil production as referred to in
paragraph 1,

(b) the appropriateness of “the period of self-sufficiency” as a time limit,
(c) the question of whether a given quantity of stand-by oil production is of greater value
for purposes of emergency self-sufficiency than the same quantity of oil stocks, the
amount of a possible credit for stand-by production and the method of its calculation.



Article 5
Stand-by oil production available to a Participating Country within the jurisdiction of
another country may be credited towards its emergency reserve commitment on the same basis as
stand-by oil production within its own jurisdiction, subject to the provisions of Article 4 of this Annex
provided that the Government of that other country has an agreement with the Government of the
Participating Country that it shall impose no impediment to the supply of oil from that stand-by
capacity to the Participating Country in an emergency.



Article 6
The Standing Group on Emergency Questions shall examine and report to the Management
Committee on the possibility of crediting towards a Participating Country's emergency reserve
commitment mentioned in Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Agreement, long term investments which
have the effect of reducing the Participating Countries' dependence on imported oil.
