ECJ limits Gazprom’s use of crucial gas link | Financial Times:
The EU’s top court has delivered a blow to Gazprom by overturning an EU decision allowing the Russian gas giant to boost deliveries to Europe via the Opal pipeline.
Poland, Lithuania and Latvia had challenged the European Commission’s 2016 decision to allow Gazprom to send more gas via Opal, which connects Russia’s Nordstream pipeline to Germany, arguing that the decision “violated the principles of the European Union by not examining its impact on Poland’s energy security”.
On Tuesday, the European Court of Justice found in favour of the three countries, arguing that the Commission’s 2016 decision had been taken “in breach of the principle of energy solidarity”.
