MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “The framework of global balances has changed in recent years, with still the presence of wars on multiple fronts and with blocks that are being created between the various countries. This affects Cop30, in addition to the fact that the US has withdrawn from the Paris climate agreement as they had already done in 2017. It’s a step not easy, but we still have to move on. Of course, the geopolitical framework is so difficult with conflicts and counterpositions that it can also run the risk of slowing down processes and agreements made with the previous Cop”. Thus the Minister of Environment and Energy Security Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, at the margin of the 160 years of Il Sole 24 Hours, commenting on the atmosphere of poor expectations for the Cop30 that opens tomorrow in Belém in Brazil. As regards the poor number of participating states, the minister noted that “there is also the difficulty of the place for effective participation because membership is almost complete.”.
RUSSIA, “NON ARRIVARE AD AUTOLESIONISMO PER IMPORRE SANZIONI”
“The European Union on the energy front allows to buy liquefied natural gas from Russia, Italy does not, but there are countries like Germany itself has absolutely the need to supply itself. To move from 100% as it was until three years ago from Russia to zero there are intermediate steps. The European Union continues with sanctions, we arrived at the 19th package, they are also heavy, but it is not that to impose sanctions we must arrive at self-harm to self-sanction ourselves.” So the question of the risks of an exclusion from Hungary from the sanctions for energy supply from Russia. “Italy has the gnl and has 28 billion cubic meters of regasifiers, Hungary does not have the sea to have the regasifiers and was totally dependent on Russia,” he added.
