Europeans will have to choose between food and heating this winter, the EU commissioner said. About 50 million Europeans have difficulty paying for heating, EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen said in an interview with the Hungarian publication 444. According to him, next winter will be difficult for EU citizens and businesses due to the dependence on energy imports and the increase in prices due to the global fuel shortage. "We don't know how cold it will be, but we know we will need more fuel. And global shortages lead to higher prices," Jorgensen said. Bloomberg previously reported that gas reserves in Europe have reached their lowest level since 2009.
