In this Editorial, we give our strategic analysis of the recent events in the light of our 9th European Energy Markets Observatory’s results and share our thoughts on the path forward.

Notes
- 1.
Gazprom is the largest vertically integrated natural gas company in terms of reserves (61% of all Russian natural gas reserves and around 17% of global reserves), production (85% of domestic production and one-fifth of global production) and transportation (it owns the world’s largest high pressure pipeline system).
It is controlled by the Russian Federation, which raised its stake in the company in June 2005 in its attempt to regain control over the country’s natural resources, which are the backbone of Russia’s economy.
