EU announces plans to create platform for joint gas purchases

The European Union has not yet made joint purchases of gas, although a special platform for such operations was created in the spring, Spokesperson for Climate Action and Energy at European Commission Tim McPhie said, SİA informs.

Tim McPhie noted that the EU had created an energy platform. The EC documents specify that it was formed in April; it was planned that the platform would play a key role in pooling demand, coordinating the use of infrastructure, negotiating with international partners and preparing for joint purchases of gas and hydrogen in the EU. The platform is a voluntary coordination mechanism.

"We haven't had any joint purchases yet," McPhie said.

The EC is expected to submit proposals on the possibility of launching joint gas purchases for the European Union on October 18, then it should be considered by the EU countries.
