Austria Releases Oil Reserve

The Austrian National Council’s main committee approved the release of 325,000 tons of oil from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve on Wednesday. This decision, supported by a two-thirds majority, was driven by concerns about rising energy prices and potential supply disruptions. The move involved support from key political parties, including the ÖVP, SPÖ, and NEOS, alongside the Green Party.
