Gas storage in the EU is now at more than 90%.

It was 30% in February, and since then we have been working with EU countries to increase Europe’s energy reserves.

Good news: we have already reduced our gas consumption by about 10% but more can still be done.

Russian gas supplies to the EU have decreased from 40% to 7.5% of pipeline gas.

We have compensated for this reduction by increasing imports of LNG and pipeline gas, mainly from our reliable suppliers like the US and Norway.

But we've been able to compensate.

Now it is time to discuss how we can limit the peaks in energy prices and Putin's manipulation of the prices."

That is why we have put in place a State aid Temporary Crisis Framework. We will now consult EU countries on its prolongation.

We are stepping up our efforts to crack down on circumvention of sanctions.

If any person buys goods in the EU, brings them to third countries and then to Russia, this would be a circumvention of our sanctions, and those individuals could be listed.
