The experience during the gas crisis of 2022 and 2023 showed that comprehensive information on the supply situation and possible supply dependencies is crucial for monitoring gas supply in the Union. Therefore, importers of Russian gas making use of the transition periods laid down in this Regulation should submit to the Commission all information necessary to evaluate possible risks for gas trade. That information should include key parameters, or even text parts in full, of the relevant gas supply contracts, excluding price information, where that is necessary to understand the context of certain clauses or references to other provisions in the contract. When monitoring gas supply in the Union, the Commission should also take into account information on imports provided by customs authorities and information included in national diversification plans. The Commission should regularly inform the Gas Coordination Group established by Regulation (EU) 2017/1938 about the phase-out process at Union level and submit an annual report on the Russian gas phase-out, which may be accompanied by specific Union recommendations and actions to accelerate the phase-out process.
