BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union should immediately start refilling its gas storage to prepare for next winter, as the bloc seeks to curb its reliance on Russian fossil fuels, EU country leaders will say at a summit next week.
“Refilling of gas storage across the Union should start now. Member States and the Commission will urgently coordinate measures necessary to ensure adequate levels of gas storage before the next winter,” said a draft of the conclusions for their summit on Mar. 24-25, seen by Reuters.
