We can modify Russia gas deal away from EU – Hungary
STORY: Hungary, a European Union member that largely relies on Russian gas and oil imports, has repeatedly said that it opposes a price cap on Russian gas.European Union ministers were meeting on Monday in an effort to agree the cap on prices.Szijjarto said: “It was important for us that, in this very bad proposal, as a small achievement we got a free hand to modify the contract. That is, we do not need to consult with the European Commission about modifications to the long-term contract with Russia — if that becomes necessary in the case of a price cap. We will modify the contracts with suppliers as we like.”
