The European Commission has proposed phasing out gas and oil imports from Russia by 2027 to boost the EU's energy independence.

The European Commission's legislative proposal aims to phase out gas and oil imports from Russia by the end of 2027 in order to reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels. It includes measures to diversify supply sources and a ban on new gas contracts from Russia from 2026. The Commission will monitor progress and provide support to Member States, ensuring that the phase-out of imports does not affect the Union's energy security.
