In this regard, Schroeder touched on the importance of energy security, noting the challenges faced by the German economy in securing energy resources, adding:
“Ensuring energy security is necessary to keep energy prices at a reasonable level. In my opinion, the German economy does not have the strength to meet the need for natural gas.”
In a related context, Schroeder referred to the importance of securing natural gas from Azerbaijan, concluding his speech by saying:
