Washington: The European Union is about to impose restrictions on oil imports from Russia. The EU energy minister has announced that he will introduce restrictions on gas imports from Russia.
The EU announced a 15 percent cut in gas imports between August and March. The Czech Republic, which currently holds the EU Presidency, responded that this is not an impossible task.
The European Union member states have been instructed to take measures in view of the decrease in gas imports. At the same time, there are reports that some countries will be given concessions in the new deal. Allow exemption for countries that do not have gas pipeline connections with other countries.
Exemption may also be granted to power plants that rely heavily on gas. Countries with less gas storage will also be given this exemption.
