Council endorsement of the regulation to reduce gas demand

Jul 26

I strongly welcome the endorsement by Council of the regulation to reduce gas demand and prepare for the winter. It is a decisive step to face down the threat of a full gas disruption. Thanks to today’s decision, Europe is now ready to address its energy security, as a Union.

for your tireless efforts in securing the agreements with

The agreement signed today by Ukraine, the Russian Federation & Türkiye under UN auspices opens a path for commercial food exports from Ukraine in the Black Sea. It will help avoid a food shortage catastrophe for millions worldwide. It is a beacon of hope, possibility & relief.

Member States have agreed to our reinforced, prolonged EU sanctions against the Kremlin. I welcome that. It sends a strong signal to Moscow: we will keep the pressure high for as long as it takes.

Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine continues unabated. Therefore we propose today to tighten our hard-hitting EU sanctions against the Kremlin, enforce them more effectively and extend them until January 2023. Moscow must continue to pay a high price for its aggression.

Some Member States are more vulnerable to disruptions. But we would all suffer the consequences of such a disruption through the Single Market. This is why all need to be ready to share gas with Member States in need.

EU countries should do their best now to save 15% of annual gas consumption. We are providing guidance to do that, in a smart way. Right now the goal is aspirational. In case of a European alert, the 15% are binding. The quicker we act, the more we save, the safer we are.

For the first time, we have to address our energy security at EU level. For this, we have to reduce our gas consumption and put the saved gas into storage. This is a big ask for the whole of the EU – but it is necessary to protect us.

117

478

We have already done a lot to prepare, with #REPowerEU. Gas storage is at 64%. Gas supply from other sources has increased by 75% compared to last year. And since the beginning of the year an estimated additional 20 GW of renewable energy capacity have been added.

Russia is using gas as a weapon. We have to address our energy security at EU level. We learnt from the pandemic that if we act in unity, we can address any crisis. So let's act together to reduce gas use and provide a safety net for all EU countries.
