The minister defined energy supply as a hard physical reality instead of an ideological-philosophical issue.
He said that Hungary accounts for 8.5 billion of Europe's 170 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. The acquisition of this amount is unthinkable without taking into account Russian energy sources, he stated.
The foreign minister also said that the current capacity of Hungarian gas storage facilities is 30%, which is better than the European average, but the cabinet must ensure the procurement of an additional 732 million cubic meters.
He also stated that "Hungary will not have a problem with natural gas supply during the winter."
