22/07/2025 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 18 July, the European Commission published a call for evidence on the draft delegated act updating the composition of the groups of Member States that share common risks regarding the security of gas supply (‘risk groups’), as provided for in Regulation 2017/1938. This act aims to take account of changes in EU gas supply since 2021 and the reduction in imports of Russian gas in favour of other sources, by maintaining four risk groups, divided according to the origin of the gas, but introducing a significant simplification. The act introduces a new risk group for LNG supply (including all Member States) and removes the “Eastern” gas supply risk. The Commission plans to adopt the delegated act before the end of the year. The call for evidence is open until 14 August. See the consultation: https://aeur.eu/f/hyc (PLD)
