Abstract:

The last two reports of the OEECs Oil Committee constitute the best available summary of Western Europes views on its situation with respect to oil. Straddling the Suez crisis, they provide a good mirror of Europes growing awareness of the extent of its stake in Middle East oil. Oil The Outlook for Europe was published after the Egyptian nationalization of the Suez Canal, but before the Anglo-French-Israeli attack on Egypt and the subsequent closing of the Canal. Primarily intended to add the details on petroleum to the broader report on Europes Growing Needs of Energy published a few months earlier by the OEECs Energy Commission, the report of the Oil Committee gives only slight hints of the threat of disruption of the flow of Europes supplies of oil from the Middle East.
