BRUSSELS — After years of reducing its reliance on Russian gas, the European Union is moving to turn off the taps completely within the next two years.
The European Commission (EC) on May 6 presented a detailed roadmap to fully sever the European Union’s energy dependence on Russia by 2027.
In another couple of years. If Hungary and Slovakia are willing to play along (they aren’t).
“New EU legislative proposals need approval from the European Parliament and a reinforced majority of EU countries.”
That is different than sanctions which need to be unanimous (bit of an odd discrepancy)
Slovakia is already balking.
Balk all they want, the resolution will still be binding to them. If they don’t like it they can leave the EU and take Hungary with them.
