“Scissors” up to 15% in natural gas consumption is proposed by the Commission
Plan aimed at limiting natural gas consumption in the EU member states up to 15% within the next few months, the European Commission proposes with the aim of dealing with possible reduced supplies from Gazprom.
The interruption of the country’s supply EU in recent days from Russia caused great concern in Brussels and in European capitals in view of the coming of winter, prompting the Commission to submit today’s proposal.
The Commission initially proposes the voluntary reduction of natural gas consumption, while pointing out that in the coming months and depending on the evolution of the situation, the proposal could become binding.
The Commission calls on all public bodies, consumers, households and electricity suppliers to take extraordinary measures to save natural gas.
