DescriptionThe European Commission's roadmap for a complete phase-out of energy from Russia is meeting stiff resistance in Central Europe. Slovak operator SPP emphasizes that alternative fuels critically hit the competitiveness of the region's industry. Bratislava, together with Budapest, is preparing a formal demand for long-term legal exemptions (waivers) from the EC's new sanctions package. The bet is on whether Brussels will approve formal relaxations of the gas import ban for Slovakia in meetings in the first half of July.
ConditionsYes: if, between July 1 and July 15, 2026, the EU Council or the European Commission officially publishes a decision to grant Slovakia temporary or permanent exemptions from the general ban on Russian gas imports.No: if, between July 1 and July 15, 2026, Brussels denies Bratislava exemptions or postpones the matter to a later date.
