The Minister of Energy of Qatar made it clear that gas from their country may not be sent to the EU if a price limit for Russian fuel is introduced.

The Minister of Energy of Qatar criticized the ideas of the G7, the US and the EU to introduce a ceiling price on energy from Russia. Recall that in the West in recent months there has been a discussion of the introduction of the so-called "ceiling" of oil and gas prices for Russia. Specifically, in the United States, the Treasury Department first considered "allowing Russia" to sell oil at a maximum price of $40-60 per barrel. Then they decided that the "ceiling" of prices for oil from the Russian Federation could be somewhat higher. In the question on Russian gas, there are different estimates of the "limit" - up to the mark "no more than $20 per 1000 cubic meters." Such an initiative was made by representatives of the Ukrainian government, apparently choosing the best option for themselves.

Meanwhile, the head of the Qatari Ministry of Energy Al-Kaabi said that the introduction of limits on fuel prices is unacceptable.

The Qatari minister is quoted by the German press:

EU countries want to replace Russian gas with gas from Qatar. They also talk about the introduction of marginal energy prices. But is it a free market? If the market stays truly free, that's always better. The question is not how to limit and what level to limit, but how much countries and companies are willing to pay for energy.

The Spiegel publication says that the Qatari government “threatens not to supply gas to the EU if it imposes a price cap on Russian fuel.”

From a material in a German magazine:

The Minister of the Emirate of Qatar openly stated that their gas in this case may not go to Europe.

Qatar, along with Russia, is one of the largest suppliers of natural gas to the world market. Earlier, delegations from Germany were sent to Qatar, who asked the authorities of the emirate to start large-scale gas supplies to their country. In Qatar, the very concept of “large-scale deliveries” in Germany was skeptical, pointing out that the tanker fleet was contracted to transport LNG for months ahead to other destinations, primarily to the countries of Southeast Asia.

If this is true, then this is a "surprise" for the EU and for Ursula personally, who is the loudest in the European Union shouting about limits on energy prices from Russia.

[white fall]

Everyone understands that today the Russians will be slammed, and tomorrow the rest. So hello Ursula

[North Caucasus]

Aha! Price limit for Russia! And for American gas, unlimited gas is four times more expensive than Russian! It is already clear to everyone that the EU was sentenced to death as a technological competitor. And not only as a competitor for the United States. EU money is no longer needed by anyone because of its uselessness. Why are they useless? And who will buy products more expensive than three, four times, even more expensive! And buy something for the euro! Here the euro is no longer interested. The US can support its dollar by moving production from the EU to the US. At the top, this is well understood and probably at the top they have already agreed on the future alignment in the world.

If so, then the surprise is real. Did anyone expect Russian support from Qatar?

[jonht]

Everything is correct, the minister says, today the price limit for Russia, tomorrow for everyone who is not so "looked, sighed, sneezed, etc." And it pleases that the world began to understand the whole essence of the rotten Western (zapadloY) shitocracy.

[Uprun]

The gas market in the world is limited ....., according to the classics of the genre: "Bargaining is inappropriate here!" ("12 chairs" I. Ilf and E. Perov).

Actually, we are witnessing the voluntary destruction by the West of the entire existing model of economic and political relations that has ensured its prosperity in recent decades.. For a no brainer - all countries immediately tried on what is happening for themselves. After all, if Russia has been slammed like that, what will the West do with smaller countries? Very far-reaching conclusions were immediately drawn from this.

There is only one question - why the hell are the bourgeoisie doing this ?? Can they not understand the inevitability of catastrophic consequences? But they do. What are they thinking this time?

There is no Newton binomial here! Bourgeois bourgeois - discord. This is an obvious profit for the American bourgeoisie and the salvation of their collapsing economic dominance. And the European bourgeoisie were not given a word. In the leadership of European countries, the Americans have long ago carefully placed their unquestioning amerocentric puppets, like watchdogs ensuring the observance of exclusively American interests. Hope that they simply do not understand the consequences - alas, no! Because not to see how the EU is burying itself with its policy - only an idiot cannot see, in addition, blind in both eyes.
Therefore, they understand absolutely everything ... but the problems of the European continent, neither the Ursuls, nor the Annals, nor the Olafs, nor the Boriss, do not soar at all!

It would be nice if it was so, but ... we will look at real actions, deeds ... so it will be more accurate.
I understand that when such big guys agree, EXACTLY THESE, it is practically a guarantee that it will be so!!! Unlike various agreements with "dermocratic and progressive" representatives of the West! But there are times when, under the pressure of "circumstances", you have to change something!

To maintain)) the spirit of geyropa before winter.

[Kiril Letov]

As of October 26, 2022, the gas storages of the "geyropy" you refer to are 93,6% full, including storages in Germany - 97,5% (for more details, see RBC).
As a result, the price of gas in Europe in October 2022 decreased by more than a third compared to the end of September and amounted to about $1 per 246 cubic meters. m, according to the data of the London Stock Exchange ICE on the November and December futures and TASS calculations.
It was possible to achieve high occupancy of underground gas storage facilities by increasing supplies from suppliers alternative to Russia, reducing excess gas consumption in industry and increasing wind generation in electricity generation - up to 18% (a separate hello to those who laughed at alternative sources of electricity).
So for the time being their spirit is not threatened by the shortage of gas.

[Rhino]

Kiril, look how much gas is in storage in cubic meters and not percentages, and how long will these percentages be enough if we don’t supply them

[Uprun]

Yeah, all summer they pumped from Russia at an accelerated pace .... and now they are pumping through Turkey - tell me pzhl. alternative suppliers ..... Berk and Macrosha are nimble around the East in search of gas ...., and at the entrance .... we'll see ..... The conclusions of the windmill blew the windmill ...

[Kiril Letov]

Not later than a month ago, the same Qatar: "The State Minister of Energy of Qatar, Saad al-Kaabi, promised to steadily supply Europe with 12-15 million tons of natural gas from Qatar, if European countries continue to experience difficulties with other sources of energy resources." (Source: https://ria.ru/20221005/gaz-1821713108.html)
I believe that Qatar, due to possible price restrictions on Russian energy resources, will not refuse such a tasty and stable pie as the EU, because its shirt is closer to the body and it does not have significant contradictions with the EU.
Second supplier: the United States, which is increasing LNG supplies to Europe. (Source: https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5535405)
Third supplier: "Azerbaijan will increase gas supplies to Europe by 40 percent" (Source: https://lenta.ru/news/2022/09/22/azeu/)
Fourth supplier: "Israel will export gas to Europe through Egypt." (Source: https://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/62a9bae69a79473919bcdf9b)
Fifth supplier: Norway. And Poland, which has completely switched from October to Norwegian gas, is an example of this.

So a holy place is never empty. As you can see, there are enough suppliers and deliveries are on, as a result of which the price of gas in Europe at the end of October 2022 decreased by more than a third compared to the end of September.
So capping is one thing, but reality is another, whether we like it or not

[Shevchuk_Victor]

Given that it is European storage facilities that have a shunting volume, and the main ones have always been in western Ukraine and the Baltic states, then in cubic meters the number does not look so attractive.
But this is still bullshit, in fact, the most relish is that gas is mostly private, it was pumped at a price of 2000-2500 bucks, plus transportation fees plus storage fees, plus the private owner wants profit ..... Now the question is for the studio : what will be the gas price in January-February under such conditions?

[tralflot1832]

EU guys, don't try to say bad things about the World Cup in Qatar, stop dancing to the American tune, coming up with sanctions against the World Cup. Winter can come quickly. EU energy security now depends on any sneeze, in energy-producing countries. Anyone!!!

And with whom to hold the World Cup, with thieves, liars and swindlers?
The World Cup should be held with decent people, of which there are 6,2 billion people in the world, and not with the "thieves' common fund", which is only 1 billion, so let them arrange this cabal.

Here's your grandmother and St. George's Day. Qatar also understands that today they will limit energy prices for Russia, and tomorrow for Qatar.
So it makes no sense for decent people to trade with crooks from Europe and Anglo-Saxon pirates.

The joke is that the EU wants to introduce a price ceiling for all gas suppliers, Russia, the USA, Norway, etc., etc. I already bought a liter of vodka and a kilogram of herring.

A three-liter jar of moonshine is ready, and a strain of herring is very expensive, but their cucumbers and mushrooms are always worth it.

It’s a pity you live far away, I would change the Alyutor herring for a jar of milk mushrooms or waves.

Today was not a mushroom year, everything dried up, but I just collected about 4 liters of yellow milk mushrooms and waves, and roasted about a kilogram of mushrooms and lie in the freezer.
