Europe opposes the US pressure on European companies that are involved in joint projects with Russia on gas supplies to the European market.




This statement was made on Tuesday by Austrian Chancellor, Christian Kern, at the Austrian Climate Protection World Summit.

“The gas should become a technology that connects the transition to clean energy, it is impossible to rely on coal. It's a pity that the U.S. Senate decided last week to extend the threat of sanctions to all companies that participate in joint energy projects with Russia. The matter concerns construction of new pipelines, which should compensate for the reduction in exploration and production in the North Sea,” Mr. Kern stressed.

“I can't accept this approach. Europe should decide independently on how to cover its energy needs,” the Chancellor added.
