Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour). It was answered by Lord Marland (Conservative) on Tuesday, 29 June 2010.
Energy: Belarus-Russia Gas Dispute
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the Belarus-Russia gas dispute on gas supplies to Europe.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Russia-Belarus gas dispute had minimal impact on European gas supplies, though flows to Lithuania reduced, as did pipeline pressure to Poland on 23 June. However, no customers were affected. The EU-Russia early warning mechanism, strengthened after the January 2009 Russia-Ukraine gas dispute, was activated and the Commission led EU engagement with both parties to urge a swift resolution. Any such dispute is regrettable but we welcome its swift resolution before EU customers were affected.
