Russia resumed pumping gas via its biggest pipeline to Europe on
Thursday after a 10-day outage, allaying some of Europe's

rationing to cope with potential winter shortages.
"We buy gas on an ongoing basis and, for business reasons, have
decided to procure the requirement for three months,"
Eibensteiner told the newspaper..
"In an emergency, this quantity gives us the time we need to
process orders and shut down the directly affected production
areas in a controlled manner."
