Diesel shortage in the Netherlands – Wel.nl
Rob Jetten’s Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate (EZK) is working on a plan to distribute scarce diesel fairly. This scarcity is expected to arise when the European boycott of Russian oil takes effect on December 5, the FD writes.
In the case of scarcity, it is distributed.
A European ban on imports of Russian crude oil will take effect on December 5, followed by a boycott of Russian oil products, such as diesel, early next year. Nobody knows what the consequences will be, the FD writes. If the supply of Russian oil is completely stopped, a situation could arise with shortages of diesel for inland shipping, agriculture and civil engineering.
“The import of Russian oil has decreased well, but still substantially,” Erik Klooster, director of Vemobin, the trade association of raw materials, told the newspaper. “The big game now being played in the trading departments of oil companies is to get oil from everywhere and nowhere”
And so now Russian oil is still flowing to Europe every day. ‘The calm before the storm’, says Lucia van Geuns, energy analyst at The Hague Center for Strategic Studies.
