An alleged statement from the Secretary of Energy Minister of Austria Elisabeth Zehetner gets international headlines. The ÖVP politician would have asked to trust the EU on the import of natural gas from Russia after a possible end of the war. “Wrong,” it says on request. But you have to “keep all options open”.
The European Commission is expected to carry out an import ban of gas from Russia from Russia on Tuesday, with the aim of terminating the dependence on the EU of Russian energy by the end of 2027. Hungary and Slovakia have already rejected the plan to ban Russian imports. However, the committee proposals are designed in such a way that they can enter into force with the permission of a “strong majority” of the countries. And of all the things around the red and white -red position, there was a commotion.

“We will systematically check all suggestions and then decide on our position. But it is already clear that we have to take this into account when it comes to the situation when the war is finally over,” said the secretary of Secretary Energy Energy, Elisabeth Zehetner of the Austria, during a meeting of the EU -countries Minister on Monday. A statement that was internationally caused by Verbrae and was interpreted as an opening for Austria for a return to Russian gas. However, this is wrong, according to the State Secretariat for Energy and Tourism.
“Fact position turned”
“The rumors claimed that Austria wants to import Russian gas again at the moment or let alone, is just wrong. This representation rotates the facts and damages a serious debate about energy policy,” becomes clear. In this debate it is very clear: Austria is fierce the attack on Ukraine on Russia that violates international right to Ukraine. Moreover, one confesses a fair and permanent peace, where no negotiations are permitted without participation in Ukraine. “In the battle for peace, the intended ban on importing Russian gas into Europe is an unmistakable and real sign against Putin’s war war and for a closed European foreign and energy policy,” emphasizes.
“Keep all options open”
The State Secretariat also emphasizes that it only wants to make a final assessment of the Repowewereu route map if the specific legislative proposal from the Commission is present. “In the long term, however, the EU must keep the options open to re -evaluate the situation after the end of the war in order to be supplied safely and cost -effectively in the future.
