EU says switch oil from dollar to currency basket
-->Reuters
Brussels, May 26
World oil trade should be switched to a basket of currencies, including the euro, rather than be priced in dollars only, the European Commission said on Wednesday.
"If the oil price should be related to a value it should be a consequence of a basket of currencies involving the main oil consumption (nations)," Energy Commissioner Loyola de Palacio told reporters after a news conference.
"This should give the real picture of the impact of the oil prices."
