This was reported by the newspaper E24 with reference to the Norwegian Minister of Oil and Energy Terje Aasland.

Aasland said he does not plan to pursue a policy where oil and gas companies will be required to enter into contracts at a fixed price below the market.

According to him, Norway needs to focus on supplying as much gas as possible to meet growing demand, as well as being a reliable supplier.

Earlier, an expert in the field of political economy, Ahmad Yasin, in an interview with RT, said that European countries have nothing to replace Russian gas with.

Alexander Frolov, Deputy General Director of the National Energy Institute, commented on the situation with gas in Europe in an interview with the Economics Today FBA.
