Hi, it's a question related to Hungary and the energy crisis.

Do you have further information about this electricity coordination group,

when it will come together and what's the scope of the talks. You guys.

We keep following and monitoring very closely the situation in Hungary as well as in Romania,

Bulgaria, and other countries in the region.

The low Danube levels will clearly have an impact on nuclear generation along the route,

so this concerns several member states.

The European Network of Transmission System Operators,

the NSOE has been mobilised and is in close contact now with all the national authorities in the impacted countries and for us.

As regards the Commission,

we are obviously ready to convene an electricity coordination group as soon as there is a need for that and for that need to emerge.

Obviously we want to first have a full picture and visibility of what is happening in the impacted countries,

whether there is indeed a need to have such a meeting.

We are ready to call it ad hoc as soon as the situation would warrant.

But for the time being we're not seeing any security of supply issues and there's always as regards nuclear generation nuclear power.

The power plants already have contingency systems in place and there's also the selling and the exchange of electricity between the member states.

We have a very good regional solidarity mechanisms and exchanges,

so these are all obviously they kick in as soon as there are any situations that warrant.

So, at the moment, there hasn't been a need to call a electricity coordination group.

We're ready to do it as soon as there is, there is a need, but, needless to say, this is being followed very, very closely. Thanks, Anna. Is there other questions on this topic? Is it on this? Go ahead. Thank you so much. It's Nicholas Kujala for your active.

I understand the Commission is undergoing an overhaul of its energy security of supply framework.

Is the Commission now preparing to add nuclear to its framework,

given the unreliable, unreliability of nuclear power plants each summer?

In 2016, we presented a package called Clean Energy for all Europeans,

and one part of that was a regulation on risk preparedness in the electricity sector.

And this already asks the member states to take into account climate-related risks as well, and, and it is something that has been already factored in, in, in a lot of the The work that we do,

first of all to have a full mapping of what is the preparedness of our member states,

how climate risks, extreme weather conditions, malicious attacks, fuel shortages, etc.

Cold spells, heat waves, cyber attacks, how they are already being taken into account in national preparedness.

So this is already something that we do have in place.

And then obviously the, the drying of, of Danube or the,

the phenomenon we're seeing this summer has an impact on maritime transport as well.

So that is also since 21,

we have in place already guidance on climate proofing of infrastructure.

So generally speaking, climate risks, extreme weather events, etc.

Have already been embedded in many of our policies related to energy, transport, etc. Already for some time. So.

We will obviously include these aspects in any of our future work as well,

but this summer clearly already so far has been quite extreme in showcasing all of these risks,

how they materialise. You have a follow up? Yes, thank you so much.

It's also to you,

I believe because the president in the past described nuclear as reliable and source of secure homegrown EU electricity,

I believe.

Is that a statement that you stand by, given the fact that one country has just overnight lost almost half of its generation capacity?

How reliable is it really in that context?

Of course, we, we stand by that statement.

It is about the safety and the security of nuclear that is, that is one, and,

then together with that comes the fact that it is homegrown, it is clean.

And as I was saying,

we have had on the radar already all the possible risks that have to be factored in in national planning and climate risk because what we are seeing here is not a risk that nuclear would be unreliable or unsafe or anything else. This is basically it is.

Extreme climate events, extreme weather events, weather events now having an impact on Reaction capacity on production capacity, but even now,

Member States are able to shut down to lower capacity without immediate security and supply issues,

and we have regional frameworks in place.

Member states can then a neighbouring country can sell and transmit electricity and energy as needed,

so I would not make this.

Somehow to say that nuclear energy is unreliable or unsafe in any way,

but what this clearly shows is that climate events and extreme weather events have to be taken into account in any national risk assessment planning which is already taking place. Thanks, Anna-Kaisa.

Other questions for Anna-Kaisa since she's here with me? Yes?

Ukraine, talking about the risk assessment, Hungary is still getting Russian oil via Ukraine,

Hungary and Slovakia via Druzhba pipeline.

It's a big risk because every day Russia is intensifying the attacks on energy and structure of Ukraine. Every day this pipeline may be ruined.

How the EU is assessing this problem this potential problem and potential risk for Hungary and Slovakia,

and when finally the EU is going to present the Repower EU,

which will ban Russian oil to Europe for forever. Thank you. These two issues are very much connected.

So first of all, our goal is to ban all Russian energy from the European markets,

and we are well on the way on making this strategy to come to a conclusion to a successful conclusion. Russian oil is sanctioned.

With the exception of Hungary and Slovakia and therefore for the reasons that they have identified when the exemption was negotiated for them,

they have the permission.

And they are allowed to import Russian oil,

but of course we work closely with both Hungary and Slovakia to help them diversify and to help them move away from Russian oil.

But for the time being they have the possibility to do this,

and we are also at the same time in parallel working on the proposal to ban Russian oil from the EU,

and this is coming in due course. Thanks, Anna-Kaisa. Other questions for Anna-Kaisa? I have one from Remote. Claudia, is it for Anna-Kaisa?

Claudia, if you want the floor, you need to press and speak.

Hi, yes, yes, sorry, it was not Anna-Kaisa, but I can wait.

It's not for Anna-Kaisa then I couldn't hear you super well. OK, other questions for Anna-Kaisa? Yes, go ahead.
