Dutch premier says boosting Groningen gas output last resort


Dutch PM Rutte

LONDON: Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte (pic) says increasing output from the Groningen gas field would be a last resort for the Netherlands.

The Dutch government won’t say it will “never discuss Groningen” as a way to bolster supplies, but that would be only in an “ultimate situation,” Rutte said in an interview in Brussels after the European Union summit ended.
