Council considers longer gas conservation rules

The Swedish Council Presidency is asking the member states whether parts of the EU emergency regulations on gas supply should be integrated into the current amendment of the internal gas market regulation. Among other things, this involves the voluntary gas savings target from the emergency regulation (2022/1369), which can also become binding in the event of an EU-wide emergency. Alternatively, the gas savings regulation could be extended, according to the Council presidency document published by Contexte.
