Russia’s Gazprom resumes gas flows to Italy via Austria as row resolved
AlArabia ^ | October 11 2022 | AlArabia

Russian gas supplies to Italy via Austria resumed, bringing some temporary relief to gas prices in Europe.

Gazprom PJSC said it has found a solution with Italian buyers to overcome the regulatory changes in Austria at the end of September that were preventing transit flows, according to a company statement on Telegram. Benchmark gas futures fell as much as 4.7 percent after the news.

The spat with the Austrian authorities is the latest in a series of disputes over regulation and contractual clauses that have been used by Gazprom as a way to limit Russian gas supplies to Europe. Earlier this year, the Kremlin demanded so-called “unfriendly states” must pay for pipeline gas in rubles and halted gas deliveries to nations that refused. Another step was to gradually shut down the Nord Stream pipeline for maintenance to its turbines, saying that sanctions and paperwork were holding the process up.

Gas supplies to Italy through a pipeline that passes through Austria were halted on Saturday, just days after an attack was carried out on the Nord Stream gas pipelines causing huge gas leaks into the Baltic Sea near Denmark and Sweden.

That took Meloni about a week or so, right?

Good for her. At least one leader in the EU has balls.

Said it on another thread-this could eventually impact NATO, especially if people in European countries suspect the Nordstream incident was US sponsored/conducted sabotage.
The idea of "American Imperialism" may rear its ugly head again, and there would be suspicions to give it creedence.

They're either unserious or being paid, imho.

Giorgia Meloni is not “far right”. She is pro family, pro country, pro secure borders etc. Its perfectly fine to secure natural gas supplies for your country for winter.
And Meloni has NOTHING to do with Mussolini.
Save your far left propaganda for DU and CNN/MSNBC.
