Question for written answer P-002412-14
to the Commission
Rule 117
Niki Tzavela (EFD)
In view of the latest developments in Ukraine, Russia is likely to suspend the supply of gas to the European Union (EU) in retaliation for the support given by the West to the transitional government which is not recognised by Russia.
Given the Cold War climate that has existed between the EU and Russia over the last few days and events in the recent past (the 2009 gas crisis), will the Commission say:
- 1.Is the internal energy market prepared for the possible interruption of the flow of gas from Russia?
- 2.What provision is being made for Member States, such as Greece, that depend on imports of gas through Ukraine?
