X. Introduct ion
1.With effect from 1January 1977 ,Council Directive 76/49i/EEC
established aCommunity procedure forinformation andconsultation
ontheprices ofcrude oilandpetroleum products in .theCommunity .
TheMember States communicate this information totheCommission every
quarter *romthefigures they receive from thecompanies . ■.• |
I
TheDirective stipulates .that theinformation must cover atleast 85/.
ofthecrude oilconsumed ,75%ofthepetroleum products "imported and
70%oftheproducts disposed cfontheinternal market .Theinformation
collected inthis waythus corresponds toanaverage situation represent­
ative oftheoiltransactions oftheMember States' .
This report analyses thesummary figures for1979 ,collected -inaccordance
with the Directive .Itcovers :
-the cost ofcrude oil ,. , .
-theprice ofimported petroleum products ,
theprice o.fconsumer petroleum products ,.
thecomparison -ofthetrend incrucie oilprices ariorevenue
onthe internal markets ,
II*Cost ofcrude oil , -
2.Theclosedown ofproduction inIran inlate 1978 followed byanonly
partial resumption inearly 11979 ledtoconsiderable tension ontheworld
oilmarket throughout theyear .Theproducer countries considerably
• increased their prices ,which more than doubled intwelve months .
-' Theprice increases ,usually occurring atanunpredictable time ,varied
considerably according toproducer country both forcrudes ofsimilar
characteristics andforwidely differing oils .Thedifferences for
reasons ofquality orofgeographical position oetween trieprices ofthe
various crude oils extracted intheOPEC countries practically tripled in
oneyear .Thedifference inprice between Arab light i4,considered as
thereference crude ,and theIranian light of ,thesame density tnus
reached 14.50 abarrel inthefinal quarter of1979 compared withSO.11Qin
1978 ;thedifference between Venezuelan 17heavy crude andAlger •an .44 .
was9.50 %compared with %2„72 in1978 .
3.Following these rises imposed bytheproducer countries ,thefobprices
' forcrude oil fortheCommunity rose considerably compared with those of
•1978 ,,rising from anaverage 812.79 abarrel inthefinal quarter of1973
toS22.70 inthefinal quarter of1979 ,anincrease of77.5% (seeTable 1
inAnnex ). -
4.Theaverage fobprices ofcrudes unloaded intheCommunity inthefinal
quarter of1979 varied between 320.68 inBelgium toS24.72 inGermany .
These differences aredue tothedifferences which appear :
(1)0JL140,28.S.1976 ,P.4.Theinformation onconsumer prices corresponds
totheaverage prices charged foreacn Member State andforeach consumer
group .These figures maydiffer from those puolished bytheStatistical
Office oftheEuropean Communities wnich relate tospecific areas and
definititions .

-3-
-inthepattern ofeach Member State 'ssupply ofcrude ,particularly
inline with therelative volume ofAfrican crudes with ahigh fob
price ;
-between the loading dates forconsignments ofcrude oils .Theprice
increases are reflected more quickly inthe cost ofcrude from the
less distant countries ;
' - .
-between theprices paid bytheMember States for the same crude because
ofthesurcharges which are imposed bysome producer countries and
which vary according toclient andcontract .However ,spot purchases
account foronly avery small proportion ofCommunity supply ,theonly
exceptions appear tobeconcentrated inthe second half ofthe-year for
marginal quantities from Iran ,Kuwait andLibya .-
This trend affected thecompanies inwidely-varying ways and thedifferences
intheir supply costs varied considerably . ,
5.Cifprices ,i.e. prices including the cost ofseatransport ,increased •
broadly instep with fobprices .Theaverage cifprice increased from
113.87 abarrel inthe final quarter of1978 to817.48 asearly asthe
second quarter of1979 andreached 824.20 inthefinal quarter of1979 ,an'
increase ofalmost 75% in .one year ,(seeTable 2oftheAnnex ).
HI .-Theprice ofimported petroleum products . .
6.Theaverage prices ,forimports ofpetroleum products from non-member
countries orother Community countries increased byalmost 95% intheperiod
inquestion (see Table 3oftheAnnex ). f
Although ,because oftheeffect oftrade between affiliated companies ,these
prices are lower than theRotterdam spot quotations which rose bysome 120",
they have nevertheless had aconsiderable effect onthesupply costs ofthose
States which imported petroleum products ,particularly those like Germany ,.
Denmark andIreland which are net importers .
Thevery high level o.fspot prices ontheRotterdam market also eppears to
have encouraged anincrease inthecontract refining ofcrude bought on-he
spot market atprices higher than theofficial prices .Most oftheproducts
obtained inthis wayhave been disposed OTonmarkets outside theCommunity .
IV.Theprices ofconsumer petroleum products
7.Thetrend ofconsumer prices ineach Member State 1isshown inTables 4and 5
respectively with duties and taxes excluded andduties and taxes included
forvarious consumer groups .(1) .
8.Theaverage pre-tax consumer prices obtained bydistributors orretailers
from the sale ofallproducts onthe internal markets oftheMember States
increased by67.2% between thefinal quarter of1978 and thefinal quarter of
1979 (seeTable 6aoftheAnnex ,expressed incurrent dollars ).(2)
(1)Fuels forroad transport :-pulp prices ;fuel forthedomestic sector :delivered
prices forsmall consumers ,i.e. fordeliveries of2000 -5000 litres ;for
industrial fuels :deliveries ofless than 24CCGtonnes ayear .
(2)Table 6boftheannex isexpressed innational currencies .

This increase :
-varied considerably according tocountry ,ranging from 58.7% inFrance
to94.6% inIrealnd ;
-varied considerably according toproduct :itwasvery high forheating
fuels (from 57% to90%according tothe type offuel ),average for
industrial fuel (+74% )andmore moderate formotor fuels (49% forpetrol
and 77% for diesel oil).
9.Thedifferences inprice between thevarious countries Widened considerably .
Whereas the extremes diverged by8.3% from theaverage inthe final quarter of
1978 ,they differed by16.6% inthe final quarter of1979 (see thediagram in
the Annex ).
The wide range ofsupply costs ,due inparticular tothemore orless large
proportion ofimported products ,partly helped toincrease these differences
between countries ;thevariety ofprice systems used clearly amplified the
effect onconsumers .
The increases were thus applied less quickly incountries with aprice control
policy (e.g. Belgium ,France and theNetherlands )than inthose where prices
arenot controlled :the increases which began inGermany inthe final quarter
of1978 became more marked inthe first quarter of1979 andthen stabilised ;
intheUnited Kingdom ,most ofthe incrrase took place when prices were
decontrolled atthe start ofthethird quarter . ,
«Trend insupply costs and revenue oninternal markets
10.Tables 7and8oftheAnnex show thetrend inconditions ofsupply andthetrend
ofrevenue from the sale ofproducts onthe Community 'sinternal markets in1979 .
The trends are shown inthe form ofindices calculated from the information
expressed innational currencies .
11.' Taking 1979 fortheCommunity asawhole ,comparison oftherevenue andcost
trends reveals animprovement inthe industry 'srpvenue from sales onthe
Community 'sinternal markets .This trend has restored theprofitability of
refining anddistribution activities whioh ,astheCommission stated atthetime ,
ran ataloss from 1979 to1978 because ofthesurpluses onthemarket .
12.Theeffect onthecompanies varied according tothemore orless favourable
structure oftheir supplies andthe range ofproducts which they market .
Ofcourse ,this situation varied considerably from country tocountry inline
with their supply costs ,inparticular theproportion accounted forbyimports
ofrefined products ,andtheprice policies which they apply .
