European Parliament lawmakers, negotiating emergency rules to fill Europe's gas storage, are pushing for a deal in the next two months to build a supply buffer in time for winter when gas demand for heating peaks.
As the bloc seeks to reduce the leverage of Moscow, which supplies around 40% of EU gas, and prepares for potential supply disruptions, the proposed rules would require countries to fill their gas storage to at least 90% of capacity by Nov. 1 each year from 2023 and 80% this year.
