Abstract
Public discussion of the implications of the rise in oil prices has mainly focused on the financial implications, with intergovernmental action being taken by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and, as far as developed countries alone are concerned, by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It is in the OECD framework that the International Energy Agency has been established to carry out a comprehensive programme of cooperation — both in the event of emergency and over the longer term — among sixteen oil-consuming countries belonging to the OECD.1
