On Tuesday, March 26, at Digi24, the discussion also focused on fuels, with a strong emphasis on emergency stocks. An overlooked aspect highlighted during the show is the fact that only 56% of Romania's emergency stocks, totaling 2 million tons, are located on national territory.
The location of these reserves must be within the country in a much larger proportion to avoid unpleasant situations and potential access issues during crises. Relying solely on the stocks physically held in the country means they do not cover four months, but only half of that period. Therefore, while Romania theoretically holds reserves for four months, the practical availability is limited to two.
