The representative recalled that the European Commission, in coordination with Member States, has been working for over a year to prepare for a scenario in which there is no Russian gas flowing via Ukraine from 1 January 2025 and to ensure alternative gas supply routes for Member States that could be affected by such a cessation of transit.
