00:03Second question is about Russian gas.
00:06Instead of accelerate the electrification in some countries, the one I know best,
00:14there are important voices asking to stop the phasing out of Russian gas.
00:22One example, a deputy prime minister, the chief of the business organization,
00:27the president of the biggest energy company, Annie,
00:34they are all asking to stop the phasing out and start buying again Russian gas.
00:40What's your answer to those calls? Thank you.
00:44Can you keep first and then the commissioner? Go ahead.
00:47So, in my opinion, it would be a huge mistake to start importing Russian energy again.
00:54And the decision of the commission is very, very clear.
00:59No.
01:01We will no longer import as much as one molecule of Russian energy in the future.
01:09Why?
01:09Because Putin weaponized energy against member states.
01:13Because Putin used the energy to blackmail member states of the European Union.
01:17And finally, because when we buy, if we buy his energy,
01:23we also help indirectly support the war against our friends in Ukraine.
01:29So, it would be a terrible mistake.
01:32And we are not going to, in any way, change our plans.
01:40We have adopted the legislation.
01:42It's being implemented.
01:44And soon we will be out of a dependency that, frankly speaking,
01:48we should have gotten rid of many years ago.
01:51Thank you.
01:53Thank you.
01:54Thank you.
