EU to set out plans to halt Russian gas imports by end-2027

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The legal proposals would need approval from the European Parliament and a reinforced majority of EU countries.
52% : The European Union will publish plans on Tuesday to ban new Russian gas deals by the end of this year, and phase out existing contracts with Moscow by the end of 2027, three EU officials told Reuters.
48% : The EU has imposed sanctions on Russian coal and seaborne oil shipments, but not on gas due to opposition from Slovakia and Hungary, which receive Russian pipeline supplies and say switching to other suppliers would hike energy prices.
39% : EU to publish 'roadmap' to phase out Russian energy * Plan includes end-2027 ban on Russian gas imports, sources say * Could pave way for more U.S. LNG imports * EU has not imposed sanctions on Russian gas (Adds details and changes sourcing to three EU officials throughout)
37% : The Commission is also concerned about energy prices, and has said any measures to restrict Russian energy imports must hurt Moscow more than the EU, and take into account the impact on fuel costs.
