00:00Seconde question is about Russian gas.
00:02Instead of accelerating the electrification, in some countries, the one I know best,
00:10there are important voices asking to stop the phasing out of Russian gas.
00:17One example, a deputy prime minister, the chief of the business organization,
00:24the president of the biggest energy company, Annie.
00:30They are all asking to stop the phasing out and start buying again Russian gas.
00:36What's your answer to those calls? Thank you.
00:40You repeat first, and then the commissioner. Go ahead.
00:43So, in my opinion, it would be a huge mistake to start importing Russian energy again.
00:50And the decision of the commission is very, very clear.
00:55No. We will no longer import as much as one molecule of Russian energy in the future.
01:05Why? Because Putin weaponized energy against member states.
01:09Because Putin used the energy to blackmail member states of the European Union.
01:13And finally, because when we buy, if we buy his energy,
01:19we also help indirectly support the war against our friends in Ukraine.
01:25So, it would be a terrible mistake, and we are not going to, in any way, change our plans.
01:36We have adopted the legislation.
01:38It's being implemented, and soon we will be out of a dependency that, frankly speaking,
01:43we should have gotten rid of many years ago.
