Russia risks losing EU contracts for energy supply - by David Gow

The European Union yesterday warned Russia that it must guarantee the reliability of all future oil and gas supplies to Europe or risk the loss of energy contracts and a scaling-down of political contacts. "We have told them [Moscow] that the disruptions to oil supplies we have seen in the last few days must never, never happen again," Andris Piebalgs, EU energy commissioner, told the Guardian.

The EU's stern warning, also delivered to Belarus, came as oil supplies to a handful of European countries hit by the dispute resumed in full after three days of disruption.
