The Minister of Economy of Germany condemned Western players in the gas market who are seeking "lunar prices"

Die Welt writes about it.

“Some countries, including friendly ones, achieve prices to the moon.

Of course, this entails problems that we need to talk about, ”Khabek said.

Thus, the US turned to Germany when oil prices soared, he said.

“As a result, national oil reserves were also used in Europe.

I think that such solidarity would also be useful for curbing gas prices,” the minister said.

He called on the EU to "combine its market power" and organize reasonable and synchronized purchasing behavior of the EU states.

This is necessary so that individual EU countries "do not exceed each other's rates and do not raise prices on the world market," Habek said.

As of October 4, gas storage facilities in Germany are 92.08% full.

As Gazprom noted, stocks close to the maximum in EU UGSFs do not guarantee a reliable passage of winter.
