The Minister of Energy and Environment, Maria da Graça Carvalho, stated that Galp has confirmed aviation fuel supplies will last until mid-August. While the Iberian Peninsula is in a more comfortable position than the rest of Europe due to its refinery capacity and renewable energy production, the minister acknowledged that global supply chain interdependencies mean Portugal remains vulnerable to potential international crises. The European Commission has stated there is no current fuel shortage in the EU, though it is preparing for potential disruptions, following warnings from the International Energy Agency regarding global aviation fuel stocks.
