The European Commission’s Energy Union Task Force on Security reviewed the diesel market and potential measures in response to persistently high prices. EU diesel supply remains stable for the time being, but global market tightness continues to put upward pressure on prices. The International Energy Agency updated the task force on the collective oil stock release launched in March 2026. The Commission and EU countries will continue monitoring market conditions and coordinate further action if necessary.
