The European Union will allocate 42.6 million barrels of oil from reserves to stabilize the diesel market, European Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said following a meeting of EU energy ministers in Luxembourg. According to Jørgensen, the European Union anticipates a difficult winter due to the high gas and oil prices against the background of the situation in the Middle East. At the same time, there is no immediate threat of a shortage of energy sources. He also noted that EU countries could temporarily use targeted subsidies to support consumers amid high energy prices.
