EU soll sich auf russischen Gas-Stopp vorbereiten
July 21, 2022 -
Russland pumpt wieder Gas nach Europa über die Nord Stream Pipeline, aber die Europäische Kommission drängt die Staaten im Block den Gasverbrauch um 15% zu kürzen, denn Russland könnte die Lieferung wieder stoppen.
In the last 10 years, Europe has grown increasingly dependent on imports to meet its energy requirements, despite the growth of renewables. More than half of EU energy needs are now met by imports with almost a quarter coming from Russia.
However, countries within the EU have different exposure to Russian imports, and southern European members have objected to the EC request, which some feel penalises them to help support Germany.
