Europe must prepare for 'long-lasting' energy shock, EU energy commissioner tells FT

The EU is assessing "all possibilities" including fuel rationing and ‌releasing more oil from emergency reserves as it braces for a "long-lasting" energy shock from the ⁠Middle East war, the Financial Times reported on Friday in an interview with EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen.

"This will be a long crisis ... ‌energy ⁠prices will be higher for a very long time," Dan Jorgensen told ⁠the FT, saying that for some more "critical" products "we expect ⁠it to be even worse in the ⁠weeks to come."
