Chisinau news: Moldova's parliament passed a resolution on the 20th declaring that the country has entered a 60 day energy emergency to deal with the impact of Russia's possible suspension of natural gas supply. According to the resolution of Parliament, during the state of emergency, the Moldovan emergency committee has the right to issue a series of emergency measures, including rationalizing the consumption of natural gas and other energy; Set up quick means to collect fees from consumers; Establish a special mechanism for rapid purchase of natural gas; Allocate financial resources to ensure the purchase of required natural gas, etc. Moldovan Prime Minister gavrilica spoke in parliament on the same day and explained the government's request for parliament to approve the country's entry into an energy emergency. She said that Gazprom used the advance payment clause in the natural gas supply contract for the first time this year and asked Moldova natural gas company to pay 50% of the advance payment for natural gas supply in January before the 20th of this month, but Moldova natural gas company did not have the financial resources. According to media reports, Moldova natural gas company said on the 20th that it had paid 50% advance payment for natural gas supply in January. Earlier, Russia rejected the request of Morocco to readjust the payment method of natural gas supply in January, and warned that it would suspend the transmission of natural gas to Moldova from the 21st. Moldova and Russia are both former Soviet republics, and natural gas debt is the main issue in energy cooperation between the two countries. Last October, Russia reduced its natural gas supply to Moldova because the two sides did not renew the natural gas supply contract in time. Moldova implemented a one month energy emergency for this purpose. (outlook new era)
