Czech Republic says Europe is in another energy crisis

In Europe, another energy crisis begins, which will most seriously affect the states of the central part of the continent. First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic Karel Gavlicek is sure of this, writes sb.by.

According to TASS, the ČTK news agency quoted him as saying:

Europe is entering another energy crisis. It will affect Central Europe, including the Czech Republic.

According to him, despite the fact that the energy crisis does not affect tariffs for end consumers, the price of energy resources will increase in the coming months.

- We need to take appropriate steps and implement protective measures, he said, adding that anti-crisis measures should be developed jointly with other EU member states.

Havlicek said that the cost of energy in Europe significantly exceeds their price in other regions of the world. Factors such as the decommissioning of nuclear power plants in Germany also have a negative impact on the situation. The Minister of Energy of Moldova predicted a new increase in gas tariffs
