During the lecture, a number of oil-related issues were presented: the establishment of the International Energy Agency (IEA) against the background of the 1970s oil crisis, the IEA’s tasks regarding emergency preparedness, data collection and the reduction of OECD countries’ dependency on oil, with the respective legal bases.
