Because the EU starts to be internal due to the natural gas agreement, the southern country has accused Germany of being too selfish

According to foreign media reports, in order to cope with the risk of Russia's "Beixi No. 1" natural gas supply interruption, the European Union formulated an emergency plan last week and proposed that member states will reduce natural gas consumption by 15%from August 2022 to March 2023. In order to improve the security of EU energy supply. However, there are differences within the European Union. It is reported that some countries in South Europe are unwilling to sign a 15%natural gas production reduction agreement, saying that they are unwilling to share natural gas with other member states in the European Union.

Since June this year, Russia has sharply reduced the supply of natural gas to the European Union, which led to the intensification of "gas shortage" in Europe and the price of natural gas soared.

On July 25, Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. stated in a statement that as another Siemens turbine needs to be repaired, the gas transmission volume of the natural gas pipeline "Beixi 1" will be reduced from July 27 to 33 million Cube/day, only 20%of its production capacity.

Russia has greatly reduced natural gas supply to Europe, and the problem of energy shortage in winter will constitute a huge challenge to Europe.

As of the end of June, Germany still relied on Russia's imports to meet the needs of about a quarter of natural gas and expand infrastructure to import liquefied natural gas (LNG), but Spain has almost relying on Russian natural gas imports.

"They can't ask us to make sacrifice, and they have not sought our opinions." In terms of energy, our lives have not exceeded us by the way. Scope of ability. "

Faced with the crisis of the euro zone, Liberal repeated a saying popular in Germany, saying, "We have completed the task."

Other southern countries such as Portugal and Italy also expressed their opposition. If they exit emergency plans, they can follow different national conditions to prepare for Russia's production reduction.

According to the revised plan, Germany will save more energy than neighboring countries to achieve the EU's 15%goal. "If Germany saved more than 15%, it would not be shameful," said Germany Economic Minister Robert Habeck.

Habeck directly criticized the "strategic errors" of the German government in previous sessions and said whether Germany could achieve the goal of "16%or 20%" depending on the degree of energy use in winter.

The German media did not ignore the changes in the situation within the European group. "Some countries have been severely damaged during the financial crisis and have to endure the lessons of the Germans." "Now their purpose is to save a lot of natural gas."

The "Frankfurt Report" said: "Several German governments have been incidental damage to the EU. When building Beixi No. 1 natural gas pipeline, they ignore the energy and security benefits of Poland and other Central European and Eastern European countries."
