Asked to comment on the case, Lavrov said in an interview with
three radio stations: "All contracts in effect now that Gazprom
signed with its partners, were signed with full respect of the
legal regime that existed in the EU at the time."
"After the EU adopted the so-called third energy package ...
there have been attempts, and they continue now, to
retrospectively, retroactively apply those requirements to old
contracts as well. That is absolutely unacceptable."
