Recital 8
(8) The availability of oil stocks and the safeguarding of energy supply are essential elements of public security for Member States and for the Community. The existence of central stockholding entities or services in the Community brings those goals closer. Where oil stocks may be held in any location across the Community and by any central entity or service set up for that purpose, prohibiting their use for commercial purposes is sufficient to allow the various Member States concerned to make optimum use of national law to define the terms of reference for their central stockholding entities and the conditions on which they delegate the holding of stocks to other Member States or other stockholding entities, while easing the financial burden placed on final consumers as a result of such stockholding activities.
