Europe prepared a ban on long-term gas contracts

The European Commission proposed to prohibit the extension of long-term contracts for the import of natural gas after 2049. This is reported with reference to a press release of the organization RIA Novosti.

Speech in the prepared proposal is about agreements for a period of ten or more years, on the signing of which the Russian Gazprom insists. Short-term prohibition agreements do not fall.

As another way to combat the repetition of the gas crisis in the EC, the mechanism of joint voluntary procurement of natural gas for storage facilities was called. In this case, the region can form its own strategic reserves.
