Germany rejected Italy's claims to fill gas storage facilities, BP increased the profit of the gas business, Egypt increases the purchase of fuel oil due to expensive LNG. Germany has rejected Italy's accusations of insufficiently filling gas storage facilities ahead of winter, with the Italian side linking low reserves to Berlin's savings on gas injection before the privatization of SEFE and Unper. The German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy called the claims unfounded and said that SEFE, if possible, buys gas from outside the EU so as not to increase pressure on the European market.
