asked the Secretary of State for Energy (1) what were the net imports of oil, in million tons, of each of the nine member States of the EEC in 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1974, respectively;(2) what was the dependence of each of the nine member States of the EEC on imported energy in 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1974, respectively;(3) if he will publish in the
Official Report the energy production, in million metric tons of coal equivalent, of each of the nine member States of the EEC in 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1974, respectively, analysing such production between coal, crude oil, natural gas and other sources;
(4) what was the energy consumption, in million metric tons of coal equivalent, of each of the nine member States of the EEC in 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1974, respectively;
(5) what were the net imports of coal, in million tons, of each of the nine member States of the EEC in 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1974, respectively;
(6) what percentage of the total energy consumption of each of the nine member countries of the EEC came from coal in 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1974, respectively;
(7) how much coal was produced by each of the nine member States of the EEC in 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1974, respectively.
Following is the information:
| The range of statistics asked for has not been published by EEC in respect of all member states of the enlarged Community. The following figures have been derived from the sources indicated using the conventions adopted by the United Nations Statistical Office for calculating tonnes of coal equivalent. Figures for 1974 are not yet available nor are comparable figures of coal imports in 1950. |
