The European Union held 103.5 million tonnes of emergency oil stocks in July 2026, down 2.5% from June and 4.2% from July 2025, Eurostat reported on November 12. The agency said those reserves had been declining since March. It reported that 13 EU countries were below their minimum emergency stock levels in July.
Commercial stocks moved in the opposite direction. They reached 52.5 million tonnes, up 5.7% from June and 10.6% from a year earlier. Eurostat’s commercial figures refer to stocks businesses hold for their operations and trade.
