“We must have an agreement in our hands first, because otherwise we will be left without gas from Russia and without the US,” according to diplomatic sources.
OR European Commission did not propose to the “block” table in Russian Lng in her new sanction package to Russiaafter increased concerns about alternatives from other countries, including the US, as he said in the Reuters her top diplomat EU.
“Initially, we must have an agreement in our hands, because otherwise we will stay without gas from Russia and without the US,” one of the diplomats said.
In June, the European Union banned Russian LNG transformations in the context of a new package of restrictions in Russia, imposed due to its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Moscow used the ports of northern Europe to carry out LNG by ship to ship for later trips to Asia. Since the ban has entered into force, more Russian LNG has remained in Europe, pushing some Member States to push for stricter rules and a complete ban.
However, the Commission did not propose harder measures than the pressure. EU sources reported that the cold winter weather, the reduction of gas reserves and the time of the German elections on 23 February played a decisive role in the decision.
US President Donald Trump He said that the EU wants to buy more LNG than the US and that it will allocate more than that. It is not clear when the EU could ensure more short -term, as exports are already in full capacity.
Trump overturned a moratorium on new LNG projects that Joe Biden’s predecessor had implemented, but significant new capacity will not be launched by 2030.
It is noted that the February Dutch Delivery Process – European Reference Point – is rising 3.1% to 49.7 euros.
