The European Union's gas coordination group will meet on Thursday to assess the impact of the Iran war on Europe's gas supplies, a European Commission spokesperson told Reuters on Monday.
The EU's gas coordination group includes representatives from member state governments. It monitors gas storage and security of supply in the EU and coordinates response measures during crises.
EU's Kallas explores UN-backed plan to unblock Hormuz oil route
Additionally, last week, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said she had discussed with the United Nations the idea of freeing up transport of oil and gas through the Strait of Hormuz by replicating a deal that gets grain out of Ukraine during wartime.
Arriving at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, Kallas said she had spoken to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres about the idea to unblock the strait, currently choked off due to the Iran war.
"I had talks with Antonio Guterres about whether it was possible to also have the same kind of initiative like we had (with) the Black Sea Initiative," Kallas said.
