Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said he was “fully aware” that Russia could turn off the taps: “It’s their choice.”
"Russia is diminishing the supply of gas little by little — to some countries [by] almost 100%; to others, cutting 10, 15%," Josep Borrel, the EU's top diplomat, told CNBC Friday.
"I don't think they are going to cut the gas overnight, especially as we are going into the summer and during the summer the gas is not a strategic weapon. But the winter could be difficult and we have to be prepared in Europe." When asked if he was concerned that Russia could fully cut gas supplies, Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel told CNBC:"I'm fully aware that they can. They can. It's their choice, natural choice. They can close or open."
He stressed the importance of all 27 EU member states agreeing on its approach to the issue."In Moscow one person can decided by himself to cut energy to Europe."
