L’UE accetta di fermare definitivamente le importazioni di gas russo e di eliminare gradualmente il petrolio russo

From the press release:

Today’s agreement ensures a gradual but permanent end of Russian gas imports with LNG imports phased out by 31 December 2026 and pipeline gas by 30 September 2027. Exceptionally, Member States may extend this deadline until 31 October 2027 in case their storage levels are below the required filling levels. In particular:

For short-term supply contracts concluded before 17 June 2025, the prohibition of Russian gas imports will apply from 25 April 2026 for LNG and 17 June 2026 for pipeline gas.

For long-term contracts for LNG imports concluded before 17 June 2025, the prohibition will apply from 1 January 2027, in line with the 19th sanctions package.

Pipeline gas imports under long-term contracts will only be allowed until 30 September 2027. In the event Member States face difficulties to fill the required storage levels, the import ban for pipelines would only apply as of 1 November 2027.

Amendments to existing contracts will be permitted only for narrowly defined operational purposes and cannot lead to increased volumes or prices.

Therefore, by November 2027 the latest, the EU will have phased out, once and for all, Russian gas imports.

If it’s cheaper we should continue to buy it.

I prefer Ukraine’s permanent Kinetic sanctions…
