(11) It is prohibited to import Russian LNG through Union LNG terminals that are not connected to the interconnected natural gas system. Decision (CFSP) 2025/1495 introduces a derogation from the prohibition that can be granted by a Member State that is not directly connected to the interconnected natural gas system of any other Member State and which receives the first commercial supply of its first long-term natural gas supply contract after 20 July 2025 in order to ensure its energy supply. This is without prejudice to any legislative measure impacting energy imports into the Union from Russia.
