PURPOSE: to present an EU strategy for liquefied\nnatural gas and gas storage.
\nBACKGROUND: the Commission's \"Framework\nStrategy for a Resilient Energy Union with a Forward-Looking\nClimate Change Policy\" gives concrete expression to the EU's\nambition to bring about a transition to a sustainable, secure and\ncompetitive energy system.
\nAs stressed in the Communication\non the State of the Energy Union, the geopolitical challenges\nlinked to ensuring secure and resilient supplies of fossil fuels\nalso remain significant, particularly as regards commodities for\nwhich the EU is highly dependent on imports.
\nIn this context, the Commission considers that the\nfurther diversification of the EU's natural gas supply\nremains a key objective, particularly as domestic production in the\nEU will continue to decline in coming decades. Vulnerability due to\nincreasing import dependency can also be mitigated if the gas\nsystem remains flexible and able to respond to fluctuations in\nsupply.
\nAs regards LNG, the\nprospect of a dramatic (50%) expansion in global supply over the\nnext few years and consequently of lower prices presents a major\nopportunity for the EU, particularly when it comes to gas\nsecurity and resilience. Four Member States in the Baltic,\ncentral-eastern and south-eastern European regions are heavily\ndependent on a single supplier, and hence vulnerable to supply\ninterruptions. These Member States need rapidly to develop access\nto a diverse range of energy sources, and the availability of LNG\ncould make a major contribution in this regard.
\nLNG can also bring benefits in terms of\ncompetitiveness, as markets become exposed to greater\ncompetitive challenges from international suppliers.
\nIn addition to improving security and competitiveness,\nLNG has the potential in some cases to reduce environmental\nimpacts, and hence support the EU's sustainability\nobjective.
\nLastly, robust and sufficient gas storage\nfacilities are crucial to energy security and resilience in\ntimes of major supply disruption. However, as with LNG, the full\npotential of storage to contribute to gas security and resilience\nis not currently being exploited.
\nThis strategy, which has been prepared in consultation\nwith a wide range of stakeholders, goes into the above issues in\nfurther detail and draws conclusions as to what specific measures\nmay be necessary.
\nCONTENT: the present strategy aims to exploit the\npotential of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas storage to\nmake the EU gas system more diverse and flexible, thus contributing\nto the key Energy Union objective of a secure, resilient and\ncompetitive gas supply. To exploit the full potential of access to\na growing international LNG market and to make the EU an attractive\nmarket for suppliers the EU needs to:
\n1) Ensure that the necessary infrastructure\nis in place to complete the internal\nmarket and allow all Member States to benefit from access to\ninternational LNG markets, either directly or via other Member\nStates. This is particularly urgent for Member States that are\noverly dependent on a single supplier. The EU's current LNG\nterminals provide sufficient overall regasification capacity, with\nfurther additions planned. However, they are not optimally\ndistributed across the EU. To meet the challenge of non-optimal\ndistribution of LNG terminals, the Commission feels that\nincreased interconnection to liquid hubs where gas from\nexisting LNG terminals or from pipeline sources is traded would\nimprove security of supply for those Member States who currently\nhave access to only a limited number of supply sources, while also\nhelping to integrate markets across borders.
\nAccording to the Commissions analysis, the\nimplementation of key projects of common interest supported\nin the high-level groups set up under the TEN-E\npolicy will remove, or at least mitigate, the main\nvulnerabilities identified by the gas stress tests. It is therefore\nvital that the missing infrastructure links rapidly be constructed,\nand the requisite measures taken to promote liquid and competitive\nmarkets, including those to enable access to LNG and to promote new\nliquid hubs in the central and south eastern, Baltic and south\nwestern regions and the Mediterranean. The Commission supports\nthe work being carried out in the high-level groups and encourages\nMember States and project promoters to accelerate final decisions\non these key projects as a priority.
\n2) Complete the internal gas market: the EU needs to complete the internal gas market so\nthat it sends the right price signals both to attract\nLNG to where it is needed and to allow the necessary investments in\ninfrastructure to take place. It is therefore crucial that Member\nStates, in cooperation with national regulatory authorities (NRAs),\ntake all necessary action to complete the internal gas market,\neliminate the remaining regulatory, commercial and legal barriers\nand provide access for these markets to effective regional gas\nhubs.
\n3) Improve the role of storage to ensure security of\ngas supply: where the geological\nconditions allow for it, storage plays a major role in balancing\nthe usual daily and seasonal fluctuation of supply and demand.\nHowever, the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of storage\nacross Member States' borders and at regional level, both under\nnormal market conditions and in crisis situations, could be\nimproved.
\nBuilding on the proposed\nrevision of the Gas Security of Supply Regulation, the\nCommission calls on Member States to optimise the effectiveness\nand efficiency of the use of storage across borders through\nregional preventive action and emergency plans.
\nThe Commission also invites Member States to take\naction in the context of these plans to facilitate the availability\nof and access to storage on a wider regional level.
\n4) Cooperate more closely with international partners\nin promoting free, liquid and transparent LNG markets around the\nworld. This means continuing to work\nclosely with other current and potential suppliers such as Qatar,\nNigeria, Egypt, Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania, Israel, Lebanon,\nIran, Iraq and Libya) and with other major LNG importers such as\nJapan, South Korea, China and India, to eliminate obstacles LNG\ntrade in world markets.
\n5) Support the use of LNG as an alternative fuel in\ntransport: the Commission calls on\nMember States ensure full implementation of Directive\n2014/94/EU on alternative fuels, including the establishment of\nLNG refuelling points across the TEN-T corridors and at maritime\nand inland ports. The EU should also continue to support the growth\nof LNG as an alternative fuel where it replaces more polluting\nconventional fuels and does not take the place of renewable energy\nsources, consistent with sustainability goals.
\nThe Commission will report on progress as\nregards the strategic LNG and storage objectives presented here in\nits annual State of the Energy Union, identifying, any additional\nmeasures required.
\nThe Committee on Industry, Research and Energy adopted\nthe own-initiative report by András GYÜRK (EPP, HU) in\nresponse to the Commission communication entitled An EU\nstrategy for liquefied natural gas and gas\nstorage.
\nWhilst welcoming the Commission communication, Members\nstressed that an EU strategy for LNG must be consistent with the framework\nstrategy for a resilient Energy Union, so as to contribute to\nincreased security of energy supply, decarbonisation, the long-term\nsustainability of the economy and the delivery of affordable and\ncompetitive energy prices.
\nMembers agreed with the assessment of the Commission\nthat Member States in the Baltic Sea region and in central and\nsouth-eastern Europe, and Ireland despite the huge\ninfrastructure development efforts realised by certain Member\nStates are still heavily reliant on a single supplier and\nare exposed to supply shocks and disruptions. The availability of\nLNG, including supporting pipeline infrastructure, in these Member\nStates could significantly improve the current supply security\nsituation, contributing to more competitive energy\nprices.
\nThe resolution stressed the need to:
\nCompleting missing infrastructure
\nAs regards the LNG infrastructure, Members highlighted the importance of:
\nThe Commission and the Member States are called upon\nto:
\nRegarding storage infrastructure, Members recalled that the cross-border accessibility\nof gas storages is one of the key tools to implement the principle\nof energy solidarity during gas shortages and emergency crisis.\nThey emphasised that a more extensive use of Ukraines\nstorage capacity will only be possible if an appropriate and\nstable commercial and legal framework and the integrity of supply\ninfrastructure is guaranteed in Ukraine. The EU should support\nUkraine in transitioning from dependency on Russian natural gas to\nLNG.
\nConnecting LNG and storage to markets: the report emphasised the importance of the work of\nregional high-level groups, such as the Central East South\nEurope Gas Connectivity High Level Group (CESEC), the Baltic Energy\nMarket Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) and the South-West Europe\ngroup.
\nMembers are called upon to:
\nMaking the EU an attractive market for\nLNG: Members urged the Member States\nto fully implement the Third Energy Package. They\nhighlighted the important role that well-interconnected liquid gas\nhubs play on the gas markets that would ensure a single integrated\nmarket where gas can freely flow across borders in line with market\nprice signals. They urged stakeholders to finalise the network\ncode on rules regarding harmonised transmission tariff\nstructures for gas as soon as possible.
\nGas storage in the internal market: the report highlighted the need to develop\nharmonised tariff structures across the EU and to increase\ntransparency in tariff definition in order to achieve a higher\nutilisation rate of existing gas storages. It urged the Member\nStates to fully implement the third energy package, particularly in\nrelation to the provisions on granting access to bio-methane\nto the grid and to storage facilities. It also underlined the\nimportance of eliminating regulatory barriers to developing\nregional storage concepts.
\nRole of the EU as a player on international LNG\nmarkets: Members considered that,\nthrough its emergence as an important market, the EU can contribute\nto the evolution of gas trading rules with a view to improved\nflexibility and the convergence of global gas markets.
\nIn order to do so:
\nSustainability and the use of LNG as an alternative\nfuel in transport, heat and power:\nMembers acknowledged the potential of LNG as an alternative fuel,\nboth in road and maritime transport. They underlined that wider use\nof LNG in freight transport could contribute to the decrease of\nglobal CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, especially through using more\nLNG engines in maritime transport.
\nThe report recommended, inter alia:
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 415 votes to 223,\nwith 55 abstentions, a resolution in response to the Commission\ncommunication entitled An EU strategy for liquefied natural\ngas and gas storage.
\nWhilst welcoming the Commission communication, Members\nstressed that an EU strategy for LNG must be consistent with the framework\nstrategy for a resilient Energy Union, so as to contribute to\nincreased security of energy supply, decarbonisation, the long-term\nsustainability of the economy and the delivery of affordable and\ncompetitive energy prices.
\nMembers highlighted, in this context, current\ndevelopments in global LNG markets, where oversupply has led to\nlower prices, presenting an opportunity to deliver lower energy\ncosts to EU consumers through relatively cheaper gas\nsupplies.
\n(1) Reduce Union dependency: Members agreed with the assessment of the Commission\nthat Member States in the Baltic Sea region and in central and\nsouth-eastern Europe, and Ireland despite the huge\ninfrastructure development efforts realised by certain Member\nStates are still heavily reliant on a single supplier and\nare exposed to supply shocks and disruptions. The availability of\nLNG, including supporting pipeline infrastructure, in these Member\nStates could significantly improve the current supply security\nsituation, contributing to more competitive energy\nprices.
\nThe resolution stressed the need to:
\n(2) Completing missing infrastructure:
\nAs regards the LNG infrastructure, Members highlighted the importance of:
\nThe Commission and the Member States are called upon\nto:
\nRegarding storage infrastructure, Members recalled that the cross-border accessibility\nof gas storages is one of the key tools to implement the principle\nof energy solidarity during gas shortages and emergency crisis.\nThey emphasised that a more extensive use of Ukraines storage\ncapacity will only be possible if an appropriate and stable\ncommercial and legal framework and the integrity of supply\ninfrastructure is guaranteed in Ukraine. The EU should support\nUkraine in transitioning from dependency on Russian natural gas to\nLNG.
\n(3) Connecting LNG and storage to\nmarkets: Parliament emphasised the\nimportance of the work of regional high-level groups, such as the\nCentral East South Europe Gas Connectivity High Level Group\n(CESEC), the Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) and\nthe South-West Europe group.
\nMembers are called upon to:
\nParliament expressed concern at the proposed\ndoubling of capacity of the Nord Stream pipeline, and the\ncounterproductive effects this would have on energy security and\ndiversification of supply sources and the principle of solidarity\namong Member States. It considered that if, contrary to European\ninterests, Nord Stream 2 were to be built it would necessarily\nrequire a sound assessment of LNG terminals accessibility and\na detailed state of play on the North-South Gas\nCorridor.
\n(4) Making the EU an attractive market for\nLNG: Members urged the Member States\nto fully implement the third energy package, while insisting\nthat the completion of the internal gas market and the elimination\nof regulatory obstacles would greatly improve the liquidity of gas\nmarkets. They urged stakeholders to finalise the network\ncode on rules regarding harmonised transmission tariff\nstructures for gas as soon as possible.
\n(5) Gas storage in the internal market: the resolution highlighted the need to develop\nharmonised tariff structures across the EU and to increase\ntransparency in tariff definition in order to achieve a higher\nutilisation rate of existing gas storages. Members supported the\nCommissions proposal to enable the deployment of bio-methane\nand other renewable gases which comply with relevant EU quality\nstandards in gas transmission, distribution and storage.
\n(6) Role of the EU as a player on international LNG\nmarkets: Parliament supported the\nCommission, the European External Action Service and the Member\nStates in their active engagement in energy diplomacy in\norder to promote a rule-based, transparent and well-functioning\nglobal gas market.
\nMembers considered it of key importance that the\nEUs trade policy should enhance the Unions and\nMember States energy diversification and reduce their\ndependency on imported energy from too few suppliers.
\nStressing that trade plays a key role in energy\nsecurity, Members noted that strong energy partnerships, reinforced\nby the inclusion of energy chapters in the EUs trade\nagreements, are essential tools.
\n(7) Sustainability and the use of LNG as an\nalternative fuel in transport, heat and power: Members acknowledged the potential of LNG as an\nalternative fuel, both in road and maritime transport. They\nunderlined that wider use of LNG in freight transport could\ncontribute to the decrease of global CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions,\nespecially through using more LNG engines in maritime\ntransport.
\nThe report recommended, inter alia:

\nPURPOSE: to present an EU strategy for liquefied\nnatural gas and gas storage.
\nBACKGROUND: the Commission's \"Framework\nStrategy for a Resilient Energy Union with a Forward-Looking\nClimate Change Policy\" gives concrete expression to the EU's\nambition to bring about a transition to a sustainable, secure and\ncompetitive energy system.
\nAs stressed in the Communication\non the State of the Energy Union, the geopolitical challenges\nlinked to ensuring secure and resilient supplies of fossil fuels\nalso remain significant, particularly as regards commodities for\nwhich the EU is highly dependent on imports.
\nIn this context, the Commission considers that the\nfurther diversification of the EU's natural gas supply\nremains a key objective, particularly as domestic production in the\nEU will continue to decline in coming decades. Vulnerability due to\nincreasing import dependency can also be mitigated if the gas\nsystem remains flexible and able to respond to fluctuations in\nsupply.
\nAs regards LNG, the\nprospect of a dramatic (50%) expansion in global supply over the\nnext few years and consequently of lower prices presents a major\nopportunity for the EU, particularly when it comes to gas\nsecurity and resilience. Four Member States in the Baltic,\ncentral-eastern and south-eastern European regions are heavily\ndependent on a single supplier, and hence vulnerable to supply\ninterruptions. These Member States need rapidly to develop access\nto a diverse range of energy sources, and the availability of LNG\ncould make a major contribution in this regard.
\nLNG can also bring benefits in terms of\ncompetitiveness, as markets become exposed to greater\ncompetitive challenges from international suppliers.
\nIn addition to improving security and competitiveness,\nLNG has the potential in some cases to reduce environmental\nimpacts, and hence support the EU's sustainability\nobjective.
\nLastly, robust and sufficient gas storage\nfacilities are crucial to energy security and resilience in\ntimes of major supply disruption. However, as with LNG, the full\npotential of storage to contribute to gas security and resilience\nis not currently being exploited.
\nThis strategy, which has been prepared in consultation\nwith a wide range of stakeholders, goes into the above issues in\nfurther detail and draws conclusions as to what specific measures\nmay be necessary.
\nCONTENT: the present strategy aims to exploit the\npotential of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas storage to\nmake the EU gas system more diverse and flexible, thus contributing\nto the key Energy Union objective of a secure, resilient and\ncompetitive gas supply. To exploit the full potential of access to\na growing international LNG market and to make the EU an attractive\nmarket for suppliers the EU needs to:
\n1) Ensure that the necessary infrastructure\nis in place to complete the internal\nmarket and allow all Member States to benefit from access to\ninternational LNG markets, either directly or via other Member\nStates. This is particularly urgent for Member States that are\noverly dependent on a single supplier. The EU's current LNG\nterminals provide sufficient overall regasification capacity, with\nfurther additions planned. However, they are not optimally\ndistributed across the EU. To meet the challenge of non-optimal\ndistribution of LNG terminals, the Commission feels that\nincreased interconnection to liquid hubs where gas from\nexisting LNG terminals or from pipeline sources is traded would\nimprove security of supply for those Member States who currently\nhave access to only a limited number of supply sources, while also\nhelping to integrate markets across borders.
\nAccording to the Commissions analysis, the\nimplementation of key projects of common interest supported\nin the high-level groups set up under the TEN-E\npolicy will remove, or at least mitigate, the main\nvulnerabilities identified by the gas stress tests. It is therefore\nvital that the missing infrastructure links rapidly be constructed,\nand the requisite measures taken to promote liquid and competitive\nmarkets, including those to enable access to LNG and to promote new\nliquid hubs in the central and south eastern, Baltic and south\nwestern regions and the Mediterranean. The Commission supports\nthe work being carried out in the high-level groups and encourages\nMember States and project promoters to accelerate final decisions\non these key projects as a priority.
\n2) Complete the internal gas market: the EU needs to complete the internal gas market so\nthat it sends the right price signals both to attract\nLNG to where it is needed and to allow the necessary investments in\ninfrastructure to take place. It is therefore crucial that Member\nStates, in cooperation with national regulatory authorities (NRAs),\ntake all necessary action to complete the internal gas market,\neliminate the remaining regulatory, commercial and legal barriers\nand provide access for these markets to effective regional gas\nhubs.
\n3) Improve the role of storage to ensure security of\ngas supply: where the geological\nconditions allow for it, storage plays a major role in balancing\nthe usual daily and seasonal fluctuation of supply and demand.\nHowever, the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of storage\nacross Member States' borders and at regional level, both under\nnormal market conditions and in crisis situations, could be\nimproved.
\nBuilding on the proposed\nrevision of the Gas Security of Supply Regulation, the\nCommission calls on Member States to optimise the effectiveness\nand efficiency of the use of storage across borders through\nregional preventive action and emergency plans.
\nThe Commission also invites Member States to take\naction in the context of these plans to facilitate the availability\nof and access to storage on a wider regional level.
\n4) Cooperate more closely with international partners\nin promoting free, liquid and transparent LNG markets around the\nworld. This means continuing to work\nclosely with other current and potential suppliers such as Qatar,\nNigeria, Egypt, Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania, Israel, Lebanon,\nIran, Iraq and Libya) and with other major LNG importers such as\nJapan, South Korea, China and India, to eliminate obstacles LNG\ntrade in world markets.
\n5) Support the use of LNG as an alternative fuel in\ntransport: the Commission calls on\nMember States ensure full implementation of Directive\n2014/94/EU on alternative fuels, including the establishment of\nLNG refuelling points across the TEN-T corridors and at maritime\nand inland ports. The EU should also continue to support the growth\nof LNG as an alternative fuel where it replaces more polluting\nconventional fuels and does not take the place of renewable energy\nsources, consistent with sustainability goals.
\nThe Commission will report on progress as\nregards the strategic LNG and storage objectives presented here in\nits annual State of the Energy Union, identifying, any additional\nmeasures required.
\nThe Committee on Industry, Research and Energy adopted\nthe own-initiative report by András GYÜRK (EPP, HU) in\nresponse to the Commission communication entitled An EU\nstrategy for liquefied natural gas and gas\nstorage.
\nWhilst welcoming the Commission communication, Members\nstressed that an EU strategy for LNG must be consistent with the framework\nstrategy for a resilient Energy Union, so as to contribute to\nincreased security of energy supply, decarbonisation, the long-term\nsustainability of the economy and the delivery of affordable and\ncompetitive energy prices.
\nMembers agreed with the assessment of the Commission\nthat Member States in the Baltic Sea region and in central and\nsouth-eastern Europe, and Ireland despite the huge\ninfrastructure development efforts realised by certain Member\nStates are still heavily reliant on a single supplier and\nare exposed to supply shocks and disruptions. The availability of\nLNG, including supporting pipeline infrastructure, in these Member\nStates could significantly improve the current supply security\nsituation, contributing to more competitive energy\nprices.
\nThe resolution stressed the need to:
\nCompleting missing infrastructure
\nAs regards the LNG infrastructure, Members highlighted the importance of:
\nThe Commission and the Member States are called upon\nto:
\nRegarding storage infrastructure, Members recalled that the cross-border accessibility\nof gas storages is one of the key tools to implement the principle\nof energy solidarity during gas shortages and emergency crisis.\nThey emphasised that a more extensive use of Ukraines\nstorage capacity will only be possible if an appropriate and\nstable commercial and legal framework and the integrity of supply\ninfrastructure is guaranteed in Ukraine. The EU should support\nUkraine in transitioning from dependency on Russian natural gas to\nLNG.
\nConnecting LNG and storage to markets: the report emphasised the importance of the work of\nregional high-level groups, such as the Central East South\nEurope Gas Connectivity High Level Group (CESEC), the Baltic Energy\nMarket Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) and the South-West Europe\ngroup.
\nMembers are called upon to:
\nMaking the EU an attractive market for\nLNG: Members urged the Member States\nto fully implement the Third Energy Package. They\nhighlighted the important role that well-interconnected liquid gas\nhubs play on the gas markets that would ensure a single integrated\nmarket where gas can freely flow across borders in line with market\nprice signals. They urged stakeholders to finalise the network\ncode on rules regarding harmonised transmission tariff\nstructures for gas as soon as possible.
\nGas storage in the internal market: the report highlighted the need to develop\nharmonised tariff structures across the EU and to increase\ntransparency in tariff definition in order to achieve a higher\nutilisation rate of existing gas storages. It urged the Member\nStates to fully implement the third energy package, particularly in\nrelation to the provisions on granting access to bio-methane\nto the grid and to storage facilities. It also underlined the\nimportance of eliminating regulatory barriers to developing\nregional storage concepts.
\nRole of the EU as a player on international LNG\nmarkets: Members considered that,\nthrough its emergence as an important market, the EU can contribute\nto the evolution of gas trading rules with a view to improved\nflexibility and the convergence of global gas markets.
\nIn order to do so:
\nSustainability and the use of LNG as an alternative\nfuel in transport, heat and power:\nMembers acknowledged the potential of LNG as an alternative fuel,\nboth in road and maritime transport. They underlined that wider use\nof LNG in freight transport could contribute to the decrease of\nglobal CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, especially through using more\nLNG engines in maritime transport.
\nThe report recommended, inter alia:
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 415 votes to 223,\nwith 55 abstentions, a resolution in response to the Commission\ncommunication entitled An EU strategy for liquefied natural\ngas and gas storage.
\nWhilst welcoming the Commission communication, Members\nstressed that an EU strategy for LNG must be consistent with the framework\nstrategy for a resilient Energy Union, so as to contribute to\nincreased security of energy supply, decarbonisation, the long-term\nsustainability of the economy and the delivery of affordable and\ncompetitive energy prices.
\nMembers highlighted, in this context, current\ndevelopments in global LNG markets, where oversupply has led to\nlower prices, presenting an opportunity to deliver lower energy\ncosts to EU consumers through relatively cheaper gas\nsupplies.
\n(1) Reduce Union dependency: Members agreed with the assessment of the Commission\nthat Member States in the Baltic Sea region and in central and\nsouth-eastern Europe, and Ireland despite the huge\ninfrastructure development efforts realised by certain Member\nStates are still heavily reliant on a single supplier and\nare exposed to supply shocks and disruptions. The availability of\nLNG, including supporting pipeline infrastructure, in these Member\nStates could significantly improve the current supply security\nsituation, contributing to more competitive energy\nprices.

\nMembers are called upon to:
\nParliament expressed concern at the proposed\ndoubling of capacity of the Nord Stream pipeline, and the\ncounterproductive effects this would have on energy security and\ndiversification of supply sources and the principle of solidarity\namong Member States. It considered that if, contrary to European\ninterests, Nord Stream 2 were to be built it would necessarily\nrequire a sound assessment of LNG terminals accessibility and\na detailed state of play on the North-South Gas\nCorridor.
\n(4) Making the EU an attractive market for\nLNG: Members urged the Member States\nto fully implement the third energy package, while insisting\nthat the completion of the internal gas market and the elimination\nof regulatory obstacles would greatly improve the liquidity of gas\nmarkets. They urged stakeholders to finalise the network\ncode on rules regarding harmonised transmission tariff\nstructures for gas as soon as possible.
\n(5) Gas storage in the internal market: the resolution highlighted the need to develop\nharmonised tariff structures across the EU and to increase\ntransparency in tariff definition in order to achieve a higher\nutilisation rate of existing gas storages. Members supported the\nCommissions proposal to enable the deployment of bio-methane\nand other renewable gases which comply with relevant EU quality\nstandards in gas transmission, distribution and storage.
\n(6) Role of the EU as a player on international LNG\nmarkets: Parliament supported the\nCommission, the European External Action Service and the Member\nStates in their active engagement in energy diplomacy in\norder to promote a rule-based, transparent and well-functioning\nglobal gas market.
\nMembers considered it of key importance that the\nEUs trade policy should enhance the Unions and\nMember States energy diversification and reduce their\ndependency on imported energy from too few suppliers.
\nStressing that trade plays a key role in energy\nsecurity, Members noted that strong energy partnerships, reinforced\nby the inclusion of energy chapters in the EUs trade\nagreements, are essential tools.
\n(7) Sustainability and the use of LNG as an\nalternative fuel in transport, heat and power: Members acknowledged the potential of LNG as an\nalternative fuel, both in road and maritime transport. They\nunderlined that wider use of LNG in freight transport could\ncontribute to the decrease of global CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions,\nespecially through using more LNG engines in maritime\ntransport.
\nThe report recommended, inter alia:
\nthe creation of a common project of LNG Blue\nCorridors for Islands for the maritime sector, including\nports of the TEN-T Comprehensive Network;
\nthe adoption of measures to promote: (i) the\ndevelopment of vessels and motor vehicles running on LNG; (ii)\ntransport of LNG by rail; (iii) the development of an efficient\nnetwork of refuelling infrastructure in order to close the existing\ngaps in provision and create a complete supply network.
