Energie: EU will sich im Streit um Diesel-Notreserven enger mit den USA abstimmen
Diesel wird international knapper und damit teurer. Die EU hofft darum auf ein gemeinsames Vorgehen mit den USA. So will sie ein Exportverbot für amerikanischen Diesel verhindern.
The European Union is seeking closer coordination with the United States over the contentious issue of diesel emergency reserves, as the bloc grapples with dwindling supplies and soaring prices. EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic disclosed this during a brief meeting at the G20 trade ministers' gathering, where he discussed the situation with US Trade Representative Jamie Lentz. Europe is advocating for a coordinated approach to reduce prices and ensure a stable supply on both sides of the Atlantic.
However, Sefcovic cautioned against potential US export restrictions on diesel, warning such measures could inflict detrimental economic consequences in Europe. "We have clearly agreed to remain in close contact to avoid surprises," Sefcovic stated. Earlier reports by the news agency Reuters had claimed the US administration under President Donald Trump had threatened France and Germany with diesel export restrictions unless the countries released fuel from their strategic reserves.
Jamie Lentz informed Bloomberg TV that he had discussed the matter with his European counterparts in Milwaukee and expressed the US administration's desire for further reserve releases.
