👍 #EUCO urges to make full use of the joint purchasing of gas through the #EUEnergyPlatform.
The gas industry's participation – strong both in number and volume – would send a clear message of solidarity and constructive contribution to tackling the energy crisis.

I appreciate Norway's interest in participating in the #EUEnergyPlatform on joint gas purchasing. #EnergySecurity is one of the areas where 🇪🇺🇳🇴 collaboration simply makes sense.
With @AHuitfeldt, we discussed precisely that - ways to join forces in a mutually advantageous way.

Always valuable to meet @JRigterink. I appreciate our collaboration and the @EBRD's agile 'can do' approach - together, we're delivering. We continue to engage on many strategic issues, such as #energysecurity, incl. the upcoming joint purchase of gas, and critical #rawmaterials.

We need to keep moving in the right direction to determine if we have the solid basis to move forward into full 🇪🇺🇨🇭negotiations with the prospect of a swift, successful conclusion. This task is doable with political will on both side.

As 🇪🇺🇨🇭bilateral agreements are ageing - some ceasing to apply - we need to strive for a systemic solution, covering all the structural issues.
If we succeed, this will lead to us unlocking the full potential of our cooperation, incl. in other areas.
