Russian Gas Phase-Out: Recommendations for Trilogue Negotiations

Read our full recommendations here.

As Russian gas is phased out, safeguarding the Union’s security of supply and avoiding regulatory and administrative barriers to alternative energy sources is essential. Ahead of the trilogue negotiations, Eurogas proposes targeted adjustments to ensure the Regulation remains effective and practical for importers and Member State authorities. These recommendations balance the EU’s strategic objective with the need for a secure, efficient energy supply.

Eurogas stands ready to support negotiators in implementing a workable, future-proof framework. To that end, we call on negotiations to consider the following recommendations:

• Balance regional security of supply implications
• Encompass unequivocally non-Russian supplies
• Ensuring supply continuity with ex-post monitoring for non-Russian imports
• Ensure proportionality and practicality
• Avoid market disruption
• Ensure a proportionate and practical approach
• Address security of supply and affordability risks
• Align with customs code
• Ensure flexibility
