EU should intervene to secure gas supplies if Russia cuts - EU energy chief

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU authorities should be ready to intervene to secure gas supplies in the bloc in the event that the crisis over Ukraine leads to a major disruption of flows from Russia, the European Union's energy chief said on Thursday.

Guenther Oettinger unveiled the results of "stress tests" conducted across the 28 member states to work out how vulnerable Europe is to a supply cut from Russia ahead of winter.
