EC Midday press briefing of 12/11/2026

Contents updated at 08:01

Journalist questions the Commission on timing and content of the upcoming energy security framework, its links to REPowerEU LNG legislation and lessons from recent global LNG disruptions; the Commission stresses there is currently no gas security of supply issue in the EU, only high prices, and that the framework is planned for adoption in December. In a follow‑up on German plans for national gas reserve rules, the Commission clarifies that EU law currently covers gas storage but not gas reserves (unlike oil), so member states may act nationally pending any future EU proposal on gas reserves floated by the President.

Dafydd ab Iago from Argus Media. Had a question on security of supply, so I think it's for Anna-Kaisa. It's just more of a background in when is the ETA for delivery of any proposals, and has there been any change in that? And the other question is, when this process was launched earlier in the year, yeah, if I'm correct, what has the Commission learned from the disruption of LNG flows throughout the year? Would that impact in terms of what we might be able to expect whenever this package, or whatever it is, comes?

So, it is foreseen for the time being, the plan is to have it adopted in December. So, that's the energy security framework. And then your second question concerned the REPower gas, LNG legislation, and what our experience has been on, as regards LNG?

Yeah, can you specify exactly what the question is?
