Can the fuel station crisis in Britain be considered an inevitable result of Britain's exit from the European Union? Or as a result of current changes in the global energy market?
Can the crisis extend to other countries?
Of course, more it is because of Brexit. And a lesson for others who may think of "...exit".
The crisis might spread to other countries.I have a recent paper on the topic you raised. You may find it useful.
Arvydas Guogis Is the crisis then considered a kind of punishment for Britain?
Dear Othmane Touat,
Not the kind of punishment, but the conditions inside EU and to the outsiders have to differ - or else why is necessary all this Union undertaking? Labour force moving restrictions and other economic undertakings are of those which mean difference of - in and -- out in the Union. However, I think that there has to be much more freedom on choosing the specific cultural model in EU (values, etc.).
It was caused by a surge in energy demand, depleted gas reserves and lack of drivers to distribute the remaaining gas reserves to gas stations. Brexit contributed to the scarcity of HGV drivers.
Peterson K. Ozili Thank you very much for the add
I think that the crisis goes beyond the issue of the shortage of truck drivers, because the sudden emergence of the crisis at the same time as the record rise in gas prices in the global market raises more than one question.
In my opinion, it's not actually a fuel shortage—it's a labor shortage.
Syed Haroon Ali Why did this shortage of manpower appear in the fuel transportation sector only from your point of view?@
Othmane Touat I guess due to COVID-19 many people lost their jobs and that correlated with many crises as the COVID-19 crises is getting over. We saw similar situation in CANADA in wild forest fires. That were mainly triggered by unattended dry wood stored for the next season.
