How to become a mandatory EBV-member?
A mandatory EBV-member is any person who is resident in the EU, in Switzerland or in Norway and who imports petrol, diesel fuel, extra-light fuel oil or petroleum-based jet fuel (JET A-1) within the territory to which the German Petroleum Stockholding Act is applicable. Furthermore any person who produces for its own account or has produced on its behalf at least one of the above petroleum products within Germany is a mandatory member.
Additional condition for being a member is that the imported or produced total quantity is more than 25 metric tons per year and the import or production is carried out commercially or in the context of an economic undertaking. Please note that also blending (e. g. adding FAME to diesel fuel or diesel fuel to heavy fuel oil) and processing these products are deemed to be production.
The legal framework regarding the EBV membership is regulated by Section 13 of the German Petroleum Stockholding Act. You can download the current version » here (Only German language available).
