EU Targets Russian Gas With 2027 Ban Proposal
- On June 13, 2025, the European Commission announced plans in Brussels to propose legal measures to ban all Russian gas imports to the EU by the end of 2027.
- These measures follow steep reductions in Russian gas supplies since 2022 and Ukraine stopping gas transit on January 1, 2025, due to failed negotiations.
- The proposals will prevent new contracts with Russian suppliers by the end of 2025 and stop spot contracts, while requiring companies to disclose contract details including duration and volumes.
- The President of the European Commission highlighted that the EU has decreased its reliance on Russian gas from 45% of total imports before 2022 to 18% currently, underscoring the importance of transparency measures to effectively implement the gas import ban.
- The forthcoming legal framework aims to ensure enforcement by customs and energy authorities despite potential company resistance, supporting secure trade during the transition until the 2027 deadline.
