Analysis

The European Union's supply strategy is based on diversifying its portfolio of suppliers in order to reduce its dependence on exporting countries. Nevertheless, Russia and Norway remain the two main suppliers of natural gas in Europe, accounting for 38,5% and 23,6% of imports respectively.
