European gas storage injections have plummeted since the start of planned Nord Stream maintenance (July 11 - 22), as Russia fails to even partially replace the drop in flows via other routes, and contract under-delivery continues.

Having concluded negotiations in less than two months, the EU now has a tool which requires all member states to have adequate gas storage for the winter period and which makes it easier for countries to share. I welcome this highly operational regulation which, in the current international context, allows us to reinforce Europe's energy resilience and actual solidarity among member states.
