(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 29 - "Our gas stocks are 93.9% full, the data is from this morning, and in the light of this I can tell you that we are safe for this winter".
This was stated by the European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson, during a hearing in the Industry and Energy Committee (Itre) of the European Parliament.
"However, we must remind our suppliers that we need to continue receiving these volumes of gas" and for this reason "we suggest to our member countries and companies" to go ahead with "the consortium" for joint purchases.
