El Pais: EC will ask EU countries to share gas in case of a reduction in supplies from Russia

The European Commission (EC) plans to approve an energy savings plan on May 18 in the event of a possible sudden interruption in Russian gas supply. The Spanish newspaper writes that El Pais.

The document suggests that countries with other gas resources (eg Spain) will have to share it with countries affected by the supply disruption. In addition, Brussels will mandate energy rationing, starting with the industrial sector, in such a way that businesses in less affected countries will not have a competitive advantage over businesses in more affected countries. In this case, each affected country will be able to set its own rules for rationing.

The publication states that EU officials will use the security of supply regulation in place since 2017 to ensure adequate gas supplies to households and social services and to mitigate the consequences of a possible supply disruption.

6 May European Commission (EC) Spokesperson Eric Mamer declarationDiscussions on the sixth package of sanctions against Russia continue in the EU.

Josep Borrell, former head of EU diplomacy reportedHe said the sixth package of Europe’s sanctions against the Russian Federation would include linking new banks to SWIFT, new sanctions for “disinformation” and restrictions on oil imports.
