All EU countries must prepare preventive action plans and emergency plans to guarantee the security of gas supply. The Gas Storage Regulation (EU/2022/1032) foresees that these plans follow a common structure and contain the same key elements. They must be updated every 4 years and include regional chapters reflecting common risks.
In the chapter below you will find all plans submitted by EU countries in 2019 as well as the Commission’s opinions on these plans.
