据约翰·艾格（John Ainger）报道，欧盟各国普遍认为，作为七国集团（G7）上周宣布提供1亿桶原油和柴油协议的一部分，他们没有义务释放任何新的石油储备。
Union countries are in broad agreement that they won’t be obliged to release any new oil as part of the announcement of a Group of Seven deal last week to make 100 million barrels of crude and diesel available.
根据彭博社看到的一份备忘录，在周三上午举行的欧盟成员国官员会议上，各方达成广泛共识，即任何进一步的石油储备释放应保持在3月份商定的数量范围内。文件显示，一些国家希望国际能源署（IEA）进行影响评估。
At a meeting of EU member state officials Wednesday morning, there was broad agreement that any further release of oil stockpiles should stay within the amounts agreed back in March, according to a memo seen by Bloomberg. Several countries would like to see an impact assessment carried out by the International Energy Agency, the document shows.
备忘录指出，提前释放柴油（G7协议的关键部分）是可能的，但数量较少，且没有欧盟国家明确承诺在20天窗口期内进行释放。
Front-loading diesel releases — a key part of the G7 pact - would be possible but in low volumes, and no EU nation explicitly committed to a release within the 20-day window, according to the memo.
法国和意大利可能会考虑在3月份的承诺之外额外释放一些柴油，但目前尚未做出决定。法国和意大利驻布鲁塞尔的发言人未能立即联系置评。欧盟发言人未立即回复置评请求。国际能源署定于今天下午就此事进行会谈。
France and Italy might consider releasing some extra diesel beyoond their March commitments, but no decision has yet been made. Spokespeople for France and Italy in Brussels could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokesperson for the EU didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. The International Energy Agency is due to have talks on the matter this afternoon.
