When exercising their powers, authorising authorities and customs authorities should focus of the enforcement on interconnection points, LNG facilities or transit pipelines where the risk of circumvention is high. Practices of using so-called shadow fleets for the circumvention of the restrictive measure have been observed in oil transport and could also pose risks for LNG imports, thus undermining the objectives of this Regulation. In close cooperation with each other, authorities should, where necessary, adapt their enforcement priorities to address potential circumvention practices identified during the implementation of this Regulation. The Commission should also constantly monitor the flows of Russian natural gas in transit through third countries.
