Fico warns on diesel supply Seeks joint EU response

Oct 7

CCTV reports Fico's October 7 warning of European autumn/winter fuel pressure from the U.S.–Iran conflict and declining refining capacity, with acute diesel risk and import dependence. He says national measures alone cannot solve the problem and hopes the coming EU summit will find solutions. The report adds the U.S. diesel-export-ban threat as background and von der Leyen's October 7 statement that energy prices and EU responses will be summit priorities. Neither a summit outcome nor an implemented export ban is established.
