Reducing EU gas demand in line with RePowerEU, would allow the EU to be very picky with respect to its foreign gas suppliers.

5/5 Sanctions on Russian energy
To ensure that Russian energy is phased out effectively, the EU needs to:
• strengthen and enforce EU-level sanctions on Russian energy;
• prevent their circumvention and masking of Russian energy’s origin.

4/5 Nuclear
The EU continues to rely on RU uranium, which presents four key risks:
1) energy security;
2) political division;
3) defence entanglement;
4) sanctions loopholes.
A phased, legally backed strategy is needed to end imports and reduce Rosatom’s influence.

3/5 Oil
The EU banned RU coal (Aug ‘22), crude oil (Dec ‘22) and oil products (Feb ‘23)
• direct EU imports from RU replaced (crude oil: by the US, NO, KZ, SA; diesel: SA, IN, the US)
• CZ, HU, SK continue to import oil via Druzhba

2/5 Gas:
Import tariffs on RU gas
• prevent RU from causing division
• generate revenue, potentially used to support affected countries/industries
• pressure Russia to lower its gas prices
• be implemented by qualified majority, unlike an embargo, requiring unanimity

1/5 Gas
Despite the 2022 gas supply shock, EU countries failed to develop an urgently needed unified strategy for RU gas at the EU level. In 2024, RU gas made up 18% of EU gas imports. Fragmented national policies weaken the bloc’s collective response.

The EU has a non-binding goal to phase out Russian gas by 2027. However, the EU continues to rely on Russian energy. The roadmap to phase out Russian gas, oil and nuclear imports will be published today, 6th May. A thread on @bruegel.bsky.social’s research on gas, oil, and nuclear.
