The goal is to build a buffer and prepare for possible disruptions to natural gas deliveries, Reuters reported. Russia supplies 40% of the gas in the EU and has already cut off supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, the agency recalls. The deal requires EU Member States to jointly fill at least 85% of storage facilities by November 2022 and up to 90% in 2023. Gas storage facilities are now 41% full.
