The leader of The Force of the Right party, former liberal PM, currently deputy Ludovic Orban considers that Romania does not need Russian gas during the warm season if own resources are efficiently exploited, a problem being Germany, where the petrochemical industry was affected, which ensures millions of jobs, Agerpres reports.
He added that there could be a discussion of reducing gas imports, but that would imply ensuring additional resources from somewhere else.
"Certainly, here, Americans have developed their liquified natural gas terminals, which are connected to the European networks, but I do not how to what extent their capacity of liquified natural gas exports can increase, so that it can supplement an eventual loss of exploited natural gas. Europe has today rd 35% dependence of natural gas, so 35% of gas consumed in Europe comes from Russia. I believe that a decrease in gas quantity is obtainable and will hit Russia without any discussion," Ludovic Orban concluded.
