Fuels Industry UK comment on fuel supply

Wednesday 20th May 2026

Elizabeth de Jong, CEO of Fuels Industry UK said:

"Since before the start of the Iran conflict, UK imports from countries running Russian crude, such as India and others, have fallen significantly and the sector remains focused on ensuring secure, diverse and responsibly sourced supplies.

Fuels Industry UK members are aware of the changes the UK Government is making to the General Trade Licence and will continue to work with them as necessary on global trading matters. 

The market continues to work well and members are working 24/7 to secure the supplies needed by the UK and other markets at this difficult time."
