The European Union decided in December to establish a system for the joint purchase of at least 13.5 billion cubic meters of gas in the EU by 2023. The companies of the union and businesses that use gas in the EU will present their import requirements through this system. A total of 13.5 billion cubic meters, or 15% of the EU states' responsibilities to fill their underground storage facilities with gas, must be obtained from all of the member states.
In order to find gas offers on international markets for joint purchases, the EU will hire a specialized entity.
