FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE

Title of the proposal/initiative

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on phasing

out Russian gas imports and improving monitoring of potential energy dependencies

and amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1938

1.2.

Policy area(s) concerned

Energy policy, customs policy, trade policy

1.3.

1.3.1.

Objective(s)

General objective(s)

The main objective of this legislative proposal is to phase out of Russian energy

imports, specifically on gas and oil, with the objective to reduce Europe’s

dependency on fossil fuels and to accelerate the transition to clean energy sources.

The phase out of Russian gas imports must be completed by 2027.

The Russian Federation has systematically proven to be an unreliable partner,

weaponising gas and manipulating energy markets, for instance by hoarding

capacities in natural gas infrastructure, to the detriment of the Union’s essential

international security interests. Hence, the remaining Russian gas imports pose

significant risks to the Union’s security of energy supply with harmful economic and

societal consequences. Against this background and considering that further

payments of EUR 23 billion/year for Russian energy imports endanger the Union’s

security, it is necessary to take additional measures to eliminate these imports,

recognising that a complete phase out of energy supplies from the Russian

Federation has to be a gradual process, bearing in mind security of supply and market

considerations.

1.3.2.

Specific objective(s)

The purpose of the proposed Regulation is to effectively contribute to removing the

Union’s dependencies and exposure to the significant risks for trade and energy

security resulting from imports of gas and oil from the Russian Federation. The

current remaining dependencies, if not addressed, could render the Union particularly

vulnerable to potential unpredictable coercive actions of the Russian Federation.

The proposed Regulation seeks to decisively phase out pipeline gas and liquefied

natural gas (LNG) originating in or exported directly or indirectly from the Russian

Federation, thereby preventing their access to the Union market. The proposed

Regulation establishes a prohibition on natural pipeline gas imports as well as on

LNG imports from the Russian Federation as of 1 January 2026

To reinforce the ban on Russian natural gas imports, the proposed Regulation

establishes that starting 1 January 2026, entities from the Russian Federation or

controlled by Russian persons are prohibited from obtaining long-term LNG terminal

services in the EU for contracts made or amended after 17 June 2025, with contracts

established prior to this date facing the prohibition from 1 January 2028. This would

make accessible the corresponding import capacity to alternative suppliers within EU

LNG terminals.

kom (2025) 0828 - Ingen titel

For an effective implementation of the ban on Russian gas imports, the proposed

Regulation introduces mechanisms to enhance the transparency, monitoring, and

traceability of Russian gas within the Union markets. With this objective, importers

of Russian gas would be obliged to provide customs authorities with the necessary

information to enable the application of the restrictions on gas imports from the

Russian Federation. To bolster these efforts, customs authorities should foster an

exchange of information with regulatory authorities, competent authorities, the

Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and the Commission.

To prepare for the full phase out of Russian gas in 2028 in a coordinated manner and

to give the market sufficient time to anticipate the changes involved without risk for

security of gas supply or a significant impact on energy prices, the proposed

Regulation compels Member States to undertake a proactive role by developing and

implementing national diversification plans geared towards phasing out Russian

natural gas. These plans must delineate precise measures and establish milestones for

the gradual elimination of direct or indirect Russian gas imports. Together with the

enhanced cooperation with national customs authorities, this comprehensive dataset

will enable the Commission to fill existing gaps concerning details of Russian supply

contracts. The national diversification plans will allow the Commission to

coordinate, and, where necessary, provide advice on diversification measures. The

Commission's analysis of national diversification plans should culminate in a report

and, if needed, recommendations for EU-wide measures to accelerate the reduction

of dependence on Russian gas.

To fill existing gaps concerning details of Russian supply contracts, the proposed

Regulation foresees a new transparency and monitoring framework requiring

importers of Russian-origin natural gas to provide detailed contractual information to

the Commission and to national competent authorities. When monitoring gas security

of supply in the Union, the Commission should also take into account information on

imports provided by customs authorities and information included in Member States'

national diversification plans.

The proposed Regulation mandates that Member States also draft diversification

plans to phase out Russian oil imports, aiming for information and coordination

concerning the complete cessation of oil supplies by the end of 2027, as envisaged by

the Versailles Declaration.

1.3.3.

Expected result(s) and impact

This unified approach signifies a comprehensive strategy aimed at severing energy

dependencies from the Russian Federation, thereby affirming the Union's

commitment to an independent and resilient energy system. More generally, the

proposed regulation pursues the objective of enhancing, in the field of energy supply,

the Union’s economic security.

1.3.4.

Indicators of performance

Moreover, by 1 March 2026, Member States should develop national diversification

plans with concrete actions and timelines for ceasing imports of Russian natural gas

and oil supplies in accordance with the proposed Regulation.

When it comes to the national diversification plans for natural gas, Member States

should include (i) available information on the volume of imports of natural gas

which originates in or is exported directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation

under existing supply contracts, as well as on LNG terminal services contracted by

kom (2025) 0828 - Ingen titel

natural or legal persons established in the Russian Federation, where applicable; (ii) a

clear description of measures in place and planned at national level to phase out

natural gas which originates in or is exported directly or indirectly from the Russian

Federation, including the quantities expected to be phased out, milestones and a

timeline for their implementation and envisaged options for alternative supplies and

supply routes. Such measures may include the use of the Aggregate EU Platform,

support measures for diversification efforts of energy companies, cooperation in

regional groups such as the CESEC High-Level Group, identifying alternatives to

natural gas imports via electrification, energy efficiency measures, boosting the

production of biogas, biomethane and clean hydrogen, renewable energy deployment

or voluntary demand reduction measures; (iii) identification of any potential

technical or regulatory barriers to replace natural gas which originates in or is

exported directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation and options to overcome

these.

Moreover, customs authorities and national competent authorities should monitor the

implementation of the import prohibition of Russian natural gas and obligations set

out under this Regulation. They should exchange all information necessary to assess

whether the import ban and related obligations are complied with, so to be able to

evaluate possible risks for gas trade and supply security.

The Commission shall assess the implementation of the proposed Regulation and

progress in the phase out of gas from the Russian Federation based on the

information received. Such assessment should be published in an annual report.

1.4.

The proposal/initiative relates to:



a new action



a new action following a pilot project / preparatory action



the extension of an existing action



a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new action

1.5.

Grounds for the proposal/initiative

1.5.1. Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term including a detailed timeline for

roll-out of the implementation of the initiative

Considering that since 2022 most Member States and market participants have

finalised their supply relations with the Russian Federation, this proposed Regulation

entails a prohibition on gas imports under new contracts concluded after [17 June

2025] as of 1 January 2026.

By 1 March 2026, Member States should develop national diversification plans

delineating precise measures and establishing milestones for the gradual elimination

of direct or indirect gas imports from the Russian Federation..

Such plans are supposed to help preparing the Member States for the full phase out

of Russian gas in 2028 in a coordinated manner, to give the market sufficient time to

anticipate the changes involved without risk for security of gas supply or a

significant impact on energy prices.

As referred to in Article 58(2), point (a) or (b) of the Financial Regulation.

kom (2025) 0828 - Ingen titel

1.5.2. Added value of EU involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g.

coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For the

purposes of this section 'added value of EU involvement' is the value resulting from EU

action, that is additional to the value that would have been otherwise created by Member

States alone.

Reasons for action at EU level (ex-ante): The Russian war of aggression against

Ukraine has had a significant negative impact on the Union's economy. The conflict

has severely disrupted global supply chains, triggered substantial increases in energy

prices, and introduced considerable volatility into the markets. As a result, the

Union's trade relations with Russia have been substantially impaired.

Expected generated EU added value (ex-post): In response to Russia’s aggression

against Ukraine in February 2022 and in line with the Versailles Declaration of

Heads of State and Government, the Commission launched the REPowerEU Plan in

May 2022. The Union was able to reduce Russian gas imports from 2021 to 2023 by

over 70% from 150 bcm to 43 bcm, and energy prices have significantly gone down

from the 2022 peaks. Against this background and considering that further payments

of EUR 15 billion/year for Russian gas imports endanger the Union’s security, it is

necessary to take additional measures to eliminate these imports, recognising that a

complete phase out of energy supplies from the Russian Federation has to be a

gradual process, bearing in mind security of supply and market considerations.

1.5.3.

Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past

The energy sector has been profoundly affected as Russia exploited Union’s reliance

on its energy exports to the Union as a means of exerting coercion and manipulation.

The reliance on Russian energy imports rendered the Union and Member States

vulnerable to disruptions and price fluctuations, which have had a far-reaching

impact on the entire economy. The elevated energy prices eroded the

competitiveness of EU industries, ultimately undermining the Union's economic

stability and growth prospects.

Russia has a history of threatening the EU’s security of supply by unilaterally cutting

gas flows to Europe as it happenend in 2006, 2009 and 2014, the intentional

reduction of gas flows and storage filling levels ahead of Russia’s full-scale invasion

of Ukraine in the autumn of 2021 followed by the cut of gas supplies in 2022.

The Russian Federation and its energy companies can therefore no longer be

considered reliable energy trading partners by the Union.

The impact of Russia’s weaponisation of energy goes beyond energy security of

supply and seriously harmed the Union’s economy as a whole. Energy prices were

the most important driver of inflation, which at its peak reached levels above 10% in

2022. The Union energy system suffered serious repercussions, which trickled down

to the retail markets and final consumers as the Union's economy is reliant on stable

and predictable energy supplies.

For these reasons, the purpose of the proposed Regulation is to effectively contribute

to removing the Union’s dependencies and exposure to the significant risks for trade

and energy security resulting from imports of gas and oil from the Russian

Federation. The current remaining dependencies, if not addressed, could render the

Union particularly vulnerable to potential unpredictable coercive actions of the

Russian Federation.

kom (2025) 0828 - Ingen titel

1.5.4. Compatibility with the multiannual financial framework and possible synergies with

other appropriate instruments

The proposed legislation is completely aligned with the Multiannual Financial

Framework (MFF) in recongising the negative impact of the illegal war of Russian

aggression against Ukraine which has brought war back to European soil with a

devastating effect on different dimensions, including energy. This proposal is

offering a set of measures necessary aiming to tackle the increased geopolitical

instability and the crisis circumstances in which we have been living over the past

years.

It is also in line with the evident need to significantly increase investments to foster

long-term competitiveness. Accelerating Europe’s twin transition provides the

opportunity for the Union to regain leadership in key sectors through smart public

and private investment in strategic sectors, while preserving a level playing field in

the single market and thereby cohesion. This is also important against the

background of current strategic dependencies, the ongoing demographic change and

to ensure affordable access to energy.

The EU budget is the ultimate EU tool to underpin common action at EU level,

preserving the integrity of the Single Market, securing economies of scale,

effectiveness, convergence, solidarity and passing a clear political message that the

EU stands together in the face of challenges. For all the reasons above, this

legislative packgage perflectly fits within this solid and well-established framework.

1.5.5. Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for

redeployment

The proposed Regulation will require budgetary support when it comes to additional

job posts in DG ENER to monitor its correct implementation (including potential

missions abroad). It is estimated that three additional job posts (Contractual Agents

FGIV level) should be planned to adequately deal with the mornitoring and

assessment tasks that this Regulation is proposing. It would be important to keep into

consideration the possibility for Commission’s officials to travel abroad to explain

and promote the messages of the proposed Regulation, while ensuring its correct

implementation. The financing is planned to stay within the current EU budgetary

framework.

Furthermore, the proposed Regulation foresees the support from ACER in the

assessment and monitoring of the phase out of gas from the Russian Federation.

ACER shall therefore be granted additional tasks, namely on monitoring of Russian

contracts and in assisting the Commission and national authorities, for which it will

need additional human resources. These resources can be covered by redeploying

staffs originally granted to ACER in fullfilling the tasks assigned to the Agency by

the Market Correction mechanisms regulation (c.f LFS for Proposal for a COUNCIL

REGULATION Establishing a market correction mechanism to protect citizens and

the economy against excessively high prices COM/2022/668 final).

Considering that monitoring of correct importing practices of natural gas will likely

continue beyond 2027 and the possibility that DG ENER will have to deal with

litigation cases deriving from the proposed Regulation, DG ENER may consider

requesting additional human resources once the new Multiannual Financial

Framework is adopted.

2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES

2.1.

Monitoring and reporting rules

The proposed measure is focussed on policy actions, monitoring, reporting and does

not foresee any revenue or expenditure management, only the recruitment of

additional human resources (Contract Agent FGIV level).

2.2.

Management and control system(s)

2.2.1. Justification of the budget implementation method(s), the funding implementation

mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed

The expenditure corresponding to these contracts will be managed in line with

corporate processes.

2.2.2. Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up

to mitigate them

The Commission applies thorough controls on the management of employment

contracts and DG ENER abides by strict ethical standards. The legislative proposal

does not entail any revenue collection and does not require any additional control

mechanism.

2.2.3. Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio between

the control costs and the value of the related funds managed), and assessment of the expected

levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)

The overall risk of errors is expected to be very low and is already covered by the

existing control environment. No automated controls are expected to be required.

2.3.

Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities

The legislative proposal does not entail any revenue collection by DG ENER.

Regarding the expenditures, they are foreseen for the hiring of additional human

resources between 1

January 2026 and 31

December 2027, besides missions

abroad for the relevant Commission’s officials. Potential requests for additional

human resources beyond 2027 will depend on the budgetary availabilities of the new

Multiannual Fianancial Framework.

The risk of fraud and irregularities is considered very low and will be covered by

existing controls. DG ENER revised its antifraud strategy in line with OLAF

guidelines in 2020 and plans for a subsequent update in 2026. The local strategy

includes relevant actions to ensure awareness raising on fraud prevention, dedicated

risk assessment actions and ensures an effective and efficient cooperation with

investigative bodies.

The corporate framework ensures the right of access to information, premises and

staff to the external (European Court of Auditors) and internal (IAS) auditors.

Description of tasks to be carried out by:

Officials and temporary staff

External staff

This legislative proposal is articulated in a number of options which require solid

policy knowledge and substantial time allocation. DG ENER is suffering at the

moment of workforce constraints, which, if not reinforced, may impact on the

monitoring and tracking tasks derivign from this legislation. The candidate is

requested to have a solid knowledge of the functioning of the gas and/or oil markets,

besides feeling confident in dealing with Security of Supply provisions and gas/oil

market rules. As transparency, monitoring and reporting are the pillars of the

legislative proposal, the candidate will be required to (i) ensure a smooth exchange of

information between the national customs authorities, the national energy authorities

and the Commission; (ii) take part to the assessment of the national diversification

plans submitted by the Member States by the indicated timeline; should this not be the

case, the candidate should be able to support the Member State in elaborating a more

ambitious target.

The additional posts should be occupied as soon as possible (as of 1

January 2026 at

the latest), until at least the final deadline for complete gas phase out, 31 December

2027.

Considering that monitoring of correct importing practices of natural gas will likely

continue beyond 2027 and the possibility that the Commission will have to deal with

litigation cases deriving from the proposed Regulation, the Commission may consider

requesting additional human resources once the new Multiannual Financial Framework

is adopted.

Compatibility with the current multiannual financial framework

The proposal/initiative:



can be fully financed through redeployment within the relevant heading of the multiannual

financial framework (MFF)



requires use of the unallocated margin under the relevant heading of the MFF and/or use of

the special instruments as defined in the MFF Regulation

To ensure full and adequate implementation of the proposed Regulation, DG ENER is requesting

three additional Full Time Equivalent (FTEs) candidates under the contractual form of

‘Contractual Agents FGIV’ to become operational as soon as possible (as of 1

January 2026 at

the latest) until 31st December 2027.

The budget line considered for this purpose is POWER-CAENER (E.06010102.01), being this

Regulation fully in line with the REPowerEU objectives.

These FTEs will have to be knowledgeable in policy related content when it comes to gas and oil

markets and will be tasked with the assessment, monitoring and reporting activities deriving

from the implementation of the Regulation in question. Moreover, this budget request should

cover the possibility to organise missions for the Commission’s officers, at different levels, to

the Member States to discuss with national authorities and/or companies impacted by this

legislation.

Considering that monitoring of correct importing practices of natural gas will likely continue

beyond 2027 and the possibility that the Commission will have to deal with litigation cases

deriving from the proposed Regulation, the Commission may consider requesting additional

human resources once the new Multiannual Financial Framework is adopted.

DIGITAL DIMENSIONS

4.1. Requirements of digital relevance

The proposed Regulation is assessed as having limited requirement of digital relevance. In

fact, it refers to two main aspects of the proposed legislative text.

First, the Commission is requiring the Member States to submit their national

diversification plans to phase out Russian natural gas and oil by using the provided template

and notify it via formal email exchange, taking inspiration from the mechanism used in the

Emergency Plans and the Preventive Action Plans foreseen within the framework of the

Security of Supply Regulation. Once received, the Commission will notify orally the

notification of such plans to the Gas Coordination Group and will publish them on the

Commission's website.

Second, the proposed Regulation should provide for an effective framework to establish the

actual origin and the point of export of natural gas imported into the Union. Importers of

natural gas should therefore be obliged to provide customs authorities with all information

necessary to establish the origin and the point of export of natural gas imported into the

Union and to decide whether the imported gas falls under an exception which allows

imports of Russian natural gas after. Customs authorities should cooperate with regulatory

authorities and competent authorities to implement the provisions of this Regulation and

exchange relevant information.

Given that the national diversification plans will be notified via formal email exchange and

that customs authorities, regulatory authorities and competent authorities should have the

necessary tools and databases in place to ensure that relevant information can be

exchanged, DG ENER foresees no impact on the IT landscape of the Commission, nor a

new loan of investment for the Commission’s IT services to go through.

4.2.

Data

The existing gaps concerning details of Russian supply contract undermine the Union’s

ability to evaluate gas supply security. Therefore, the proposed Regulation proposes a new

transparency and monitoring framework requiring importers of Russian-origin gas to

provide detailed contractual information to the Commission and other competent

authorities. The information should include at least all of the following: the date of the

conclusion of the gas supply contract; the duration of the gas supply contract; the

contracted gas quantities, including all upward or downward flexibility rights; the identity

of the parties to the gas supply contract, including the EORI (Economic Operator

Registration and Identification) number of the economic operator in the EU who purchases

the gas; the producer of the gas and the country of production, if appropriate, where the gas

was further processed; for LNG imports, the port of first loading; the delivery points,

including possible flexibilities concerning the delivery point; any modification of the gas

supply contract, indicating content and date of the modification, with the exception of

modifications which relate solely to the gas price.

The data will be complemented by Member States' national diversification plans.

Together with the enhanced cooperation with customs authorities and other authorities

kom (2025) 0828 - Ingen titel

involved in the monitoring, which may request more detailed information, this

comprehensive dataset will enable the Commission to assess the Union's exposure to

Russian gas and the effectiveness of phase-out strategies.

4.3.

Digital solutions

No specific digital solution is set up for this piece of legislation.

The information exchanged refers to the information included in the national diversification

plans (quantities, contract details, partners, delivery logistics, and conditions excluding

price information) which will be notified to the Commission via formal email exchange and

consequently to the Gas Coordination Group, before being published on the Commission’s

website.

Regarding the exchange of information between customs authorities, regulatory authorities

and competent authorities, they should have the necessary tools and databases in place to

ensure that relevant information can be exchanged between national authorities and

authorities in different Member States where necessary.

Customs authorities should notify regulators, the national competent authority, ACER and

the Commission on a monthly basis regarding key elements concerning the development of

imports of Russian gas (such as quantities imported under long-term or short-term

contracts, entry points, or contract partners).

4.4.

Interoperability assessment

Importers of natural gas should therefore be obliged to provide customs authorities with all

information necessary to establish the origin and the point of export of natural gas imported

into the Union. Given the complexity of the information requested, customs authorities

should have the right to ask importers for detailed contractual information, including entire

supply contracts, excluding price information, where this is necessary to understand the

context of certain clauses or references to other provisions.

Customs authorities should cooperate with regulatory authorities and competent authorities

to implement the provisions of the proposed Regulation and exchange relevant information,

notably when it comes to the assessment of exemptions allowing imports of Russian natural

gas after [1.1.2026].

Customs authorities, regulatory authorities and competent authorities should have the

necessary tools and databases in place to ensure that relevant information can be exchanged

between national authorities and authorities in different Member States where necessary.

Customs authorities should notify regulators, the national competent authority, ACER and

the Commission on a monthly basis regarding key elements concerning the development of

imports of Russian gas (such as quantities imported under long-term or short-term

contracts, entry points, or contract partners).

4.5. Measures to support digital implementation

The current legislative proposal is relying on existing mechanisms of notification,

kom (2025) 0828 - Ingen titel

monitoring and reporting: in the case of the diversification plans, the Member States will

notify via email to the Commission and the Commission will report to the Gas

Coordination Group before making the plan publicly available on its website; in the case of

exchanging with the customs authorities, the legislative process will rely on existing

mechanisms and databases already available for the customs authorities.

NB: In case the initial Commission proposal evolves considerably during the legislative negotiations, it

should be considered to update information laid down in the LFDS for any financial and/or digital

aspects, as necessary, with the aim to support the negotiation process and create clarity for all parties

concerned.

The proposed Reglation is articulated in a number of options which require solid policy knowledge and

substantial time allocation. DG ENER is suffering at the moment of workforce constraints, which, if not

reinforced, may impact on the monitoring and tracking tasks derivign from this legislation. The candidate is

requested to have a solid knowledge of the functioning of the gas and/or oil markets, besides feeling confident in

dealing with Security of Supply provisions and gas/oil market rules. As transparency, monitoring and reporting

are the pillars of the legislative proposal, the candidate will be required to (i) ensure a smooth exchange of

information between the national customs authorities, the national energy authorities and the Commission; (ii)

take part to the assessment of the national diversification plans submitted by the Member States by the indicated

timeline; should this not be the case, the candidate should be able to support the Member State in elaborating a

more ambitious target.

The additional posts should be occupied as soon as possible (as of 1

January 2026 at the latest), until at least the

final deadline for complete gas phase out, 31 December 2027.

Considering that monitoring of correct importing practices of natural gas will likely continue beyond 2027 and

the possibility that the Commission will have to deal with litigation cases deriving from the proposed Regulation,

the Commission may consider requesting additional human resources once the new Multiannual Financial

Framework is adopted.

Part of the budget requested should cover possible missions to be carried out as implementation actions of this legislative

proposal. Commission’s officers may be requested to go on mission abroad to promote and explain

the measures proposed

in the Regulation, to discuss with EU Member States’ regulatory authorities to ensure smooth and swift implementation of the

Regulation in question.

DG ENER is asking for a budget request amounting to EUR 15.000/ year, meaning EUR 5.000/ per FTE, representing five

missions to the EU Member States.
