-EU wants control of Norwegian oil supplies in crisis situation
The European Union would want to take over the right to control Norway`s oil reserves in a crisis situation.
This is the essence of a proposal for a new EU directive, according to an article in the Sunday Times.
According to the article, in case of an energy crisis, the EU would want the right to take control of the member nations` oil resources. This could also involve Norway, through the European Economic Agreement (EEA), says Norway`s EU Ambassador, Einar Bull, to Aftenposten.
The British Government is strongly critical to the EU proposal.
The Norwegian Oil and Energy Minister, Olav Akselsen is not informed about the proposal, and neither is Norway`s EU ambassador Einar Bull, apart from the article in the Sunday Times.
