Today we have exceeded the assumed percentages and at the end of last week we had 200 million cubic meters over what we had in the same period of 2021. At present there is no fear that Romania may not have gas needed for 2022-2023 winter,” the head of the executive showed.

All these data depend on weather conditions,” Ciuca said.
