European Commissioner: Ukraine will now participate in joint purchases of EU gas

The statement of the European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson on gas supply to Ukraine attracted special attention today. According to Simson, Ukraine will be included in the number of countries that participate in the joint purchase of EU gas.

Kadri Simson, who was the Estonian Minister of Economy from 2016 to 2019, said that Ukraine is connected to a platform that provides for joint gas purchases:



The platform will provide an additional 2 billion cubic meters of gas.

Simson made this statement at a meeting with the EU deputies, without saying who the specific people who ultimately made the decision were.

Simson:

The first contracts using the new platform for Ukraine are planned to be signed this summer.

Thus, in relation to Ukraine, a plan is actually being implemented for the final transfer of its economy to external management. If by now Ukraine had the ability to dispose of energy resources itself, now the EU is promoting the option in which every cubic meter of gas for Ukrainian needs must be agreed in Brussels. All this is done under the guise of "concern for Russia's energy security." At the same time, the decision regarding Ukraine actually makes the Ukrainian energy market and the GTS directly dependent on the decisions of European officials. For example, they clearly want to receive additional guarantees that they will be able to dispose of Russian gas passing through the Ukrainian gas transportation system.

The same Kadri Simson called on all EU countries to stop buying Russian LNG.



For reference: Kadri Simson graduated from the University of Tartu in the post-Soviet period with a degree inHistory", after which she studied at University College London, receiving a master's degree in political science. It is difficult to find an attitude to the economy in this list. Which once again indicates that the current European commissioners are talking heads, only voicing decisions that are made for them and, often, even outside the EU.

        But it’s interesting, but the United States and this gas pipeline will be written off to the Ukrainians ?! The aligarhs' coming out was simply deprived of the way to cut the loot, the owner simply indicated who is now responsible for the finances. your business is now a party, you must die and liberate territories ...

          So Ukraine has been buying EU gas for a long time, so as not to buy from Russia.
          This news is seven years old.

            How do you imagine that? The turbines blow in one direction, to Europe, and in order to blow in the opposite direction, for the sake of warming the Chubon-bearers, no one has built any additional branches of the gas pipeline with the reverse operation of the turbines. This whole "reverse" is just fiction. Banderlog stupidly took Russian gas from the UGS and from the same pipe, but with an additional payment to the European owners of gas in excess of the price laid down in the contract, the margin went to those interested in the "reverse". They stupidly mastered the scheme for laundering babos in the interests of a certain group of people.
            I’m just wondering what they all (dills, mattresses and Europeans) will do with this pipe after December 2024, when the current contract ends. It may happen that the pipe will be empty and its value without Russian gas will be equal to the cost of scrap metal.

              Yes, just like before.
              First, there are others besides this pipeline.
              Secondly, European gas can be pumped directly from the Russian pipeline. Which the EU paid for Russia and sold at a premium to Ukraine. He does not need to reach the EU for this.
              The costs of the demagogic education of Europeans.

      Not about the loot..
      On the free press.
      After the "end of the conflict in Ukraine" what media, their correspondents will come to Russia? Peskov will not be kind to them as well as how they organized the "cancellation of everything Russian", including Tchaikovsky (not refined sugar or a type of gas) ??
      And what kind of secret exchanges in / prisoners will be continued, from our side.

      Participate in joint purchases ..... for what shisha? Maybe the official meant that the EU would buy gas for the outskirts under a quota? They will buy small-small, set a price for the domestic consumer, and with a commission / kickback they will skim the cream. A good business scheme, and the grandmother was beaten off, and the gain was received ...... Everything is democratic and economically justified.

      The same Kadri Simson called on all EU countries to stop buying Russian LNG.

      In the late 90s, she worked, among other things, in the university library. In 1995, she joined the Center Party and on November 23, 2016, Simson became Minister of Economy and Infrastructure.
      Gynecologists, librarians rule the economy, and therefore the mess in the EU.

        The mess in the EU among Brussels officials is quite natural because of the "market" ideology of Milton Friedman, taken in the EU and the world as generally recognized. Namely.

        Fact is that "market" ideology of Milton Friedman with its monetarism (pursuit of financial gain) promotes for the benefit of any "left earnings" in his workplace and in his position. At the same time, according to Friedman, in his supposedly ideal capitalist ideology, any money does not smell bad at all! According to Friedman, it doesn’t matter what else you earn without control in your workplace.
        For example, the an official can and even, as it were, prestigiously obliged to earn extra money at his workplace:
        - on kickbacks for their marketing (to engage in sales intermediation) for foreign companies,
        - on kickbacks and bribes for lobbying different interests for foreign firms
        - use your official position for personal gain for your own company
        - Etc.
        At the same time, the European Parliament does not prohibit at all that a deputy, in addition to his own salary from the EU, officially works part-time in some third-party firm, company, enterprise - in his own or completely foreign country - and receives an additional salary from them! Of course, this is not particularly publicized, but everyone at the US Federal Reserve knows about it.

        Naturally, this deputy will represent the interests of these firms and countries one way or another for the official additional salary! This is where all sorts of "bardachny" bargaining parties in politics and economics come from.

        By the way. Recently I learned that Nabiulina also receives an OFFICIAL salary not only in the Central Bank of Russia, but also in the IMF! She also holds a certain high position there.

      Disconnected from the gas and connected to the platform. Experiments are being carried out over the forelock colony, which would be the envy of maniac doctors in concentration camps.

      If we consider Ukraine as an inalienable appendage of Europe, living in the interests of the United States, then everything is correct, logical and effective. Atlanticist Europe has long been trying to centralize energy purchases from the national level (and in the interests of specific countries) to the pan-European level (and in the interests of the entire system). Actually, this decision is in the best traditions of the Soviet Union (no irony).
