|---|---|
| (25) Experience during the gas crisis of 2022 and 2023 has shown that showed that comprehensive information on the supply situation and possible supply dependencies is crucial to monitor gas supply in the Union. Therefore importers of Russian gas making use of the exemptions laid down in this Regulation should submit to the Commission all information which is necessary to effectively evaluate possible risks for gas trade. That information should include key parameters, or even whole text parts, of the relevant gas supply contracts, excluding price information, where this is necessary to understand the context of certain clauses or references to other provisions in the contract. When monitoring gas supply in the Union, the Commission should also take into account information on imports provided by customs authorities and information included in national diversification plans. The Commission should regularly inform the Gas Coordination Group established by Regulation (EU) 2017/1938 about the phase-out process at the Union level and submit an annual report on the Russian gas phase-out, which may be accompanied by specific Union recommendations and actions to accelerate the phase-out process. | (25) Experience during the gas crisis of 2022 and 2023 has shown that showed that comprehensive information on the supply situation and possible supply dependencies is crucial to monitor gas supply in the Union.

| (28) The proposed measures fully reflect the principle of energy solidarity. Indeed, the level of exposure to Russian gas imports differs between Member States, and many Member States have already taken measures to phase out Russian gas. The proposal for this Regulation will ensure an EU-wide harmonised approach to the phase out of Russian gas, preserving solidarity between Member States. | (28) The proposed measures fully reflect the principle of energy solidarity.

| (30) In view of the importance for the Union to phase out further economic dependence of the Union on gas imports from the Russian Federation without any delay, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, | deleted |
The reference to phasing out dependence on Russian gas “without any delay” is a political objective and should not justify exceptional urgency. Entry into force should follow normal legislative practice and allow time for adaptation.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| This Regulation provides a framework for effectively removing the Union’s exposure to the significant risks for trade and security, resulting from gas trade with the Russian Federation by laying down: | This Regulation establishes a framework for the voluntary cooperation of the Member States in order to assess and, where appropriate, mitigate risks to trade and security which may arise from energy imports from third countries. It shall be without prejudice to the Member States’ competence to choose their energy sources, suppliers and contractual arrangements.” |
Transforms the Regulation from a centrally imposed mandatory prohibition to a voluntary cooperation framework. Member States retain full competence over their energy sourcing decisions. This aligns with ESN principles of subsidiarity and national sovereignty.

| (a) a stepwise prohibition of imports of natural gas from the Russian Federation and of the provision of LNG terminal services; | deleted |
Removes the explicit reference to a stepwise prohibition of imports from the Russian Federation, as this objective is no longer applicable once Article 1(1) is replaced by a voluntary cooperation framework.

|---|---|
| Energy solidarity refers exclusively to mutual support between Member States in situations of actual supply crises, in particular through technical cooperation and emergency deliveries. It shall not entail an obligation for Member States to adopt uniform external, security or sanctions policies in the field of energy. |
Clarifies that solidarity is about crisis assistance, not about enforcing a uniform sanctions or external energy policy.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1. The import of natural gas in gaseous state via pipelines, which originates in or is exported directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation, shall be prohibited as of 1 January 2026 unless one of the exceptions in Article 4 applies. | 1. Member States may decide, for reasons of their national security or energy supply security, to restrict or to put an end to the import of natural gas originating in certain third countries. The Union shall support the voluntary coordination of such measures between Member States.” |
Replaces the mandatory EU-wide prohibition with a provision allowing Member States to decide voluntarily on import restrictions according to their own national security and energy supply considerations. The Union provides supportive coordination, but the decision remains national.
