Scaroni warns: "We can face the Libyan emergency, but on condition that no other crises break out"

“We are able to address this shortage, but only this one. We cannot face other difficulties. We can digest one problem, not two." Eni's CEO Paolo Scaroni returned to the Libyan issue and the interruption of gas supplies arriving in Italy through the Greenstream pipeline, underlining that a further closure of other "taps" could represent a risk for Italy . Scaroni explained that in current terms the problem can be tackled but he hoped "that none arise between Russia and Ukraine or on the TTPC", i.e. the gas pipeline that carries Algerian gas through Tunisia. "If Greenstream does not restart - added Scaroni - our margins of freedom are smaller", recalling that our country is not receiving ten billion cubic meters of gas from Tripoli, equal to 13-14% of Italian consumption. Speaking of the sale to Cassa Depositi e Prestiti of the share held in the TAG gas pipeline (Trans Austria Gas), Scaroni said that “the negotiation is concluded. I don't know if we will formalize the agreement tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or next week”, underlining how you consider the handover as “something already behind us”.
