Indeed, the European Union is actually preparing for potential possible further disruptions of energy supplies from the Russian side. To this end, as I mentioned, we have a plan to phase out our dependency on Russian energy sources altogether. This plan is called REPowerEU. It actually envisages the diversification of our energy supplies and accelerating deployment of renewable energy sources, which we have been doing at great speed. We are also strengthening our energy efficiency. Energy-saving efforts are a big part of this plan, at this point, as a very immediate effect. We've decided to reduce 15% of our gas consumption demand in solidarity with one another within the European Union among member states but also in solidarity, of course, with Ukraine.
We are looking for alternatives and more secure supplies from reliable partners, such as Canada, while fast-forwarding the green transition. We've been working very closely and intensely on finding these avenues through which we can co-operate with Canada to find concrete and viable areas for our co-operation, to identify the needs of the EU or match the needs with the capacity of Canada, to identify the challenges, and to also come up with a plan on how to proceed along this line.
Of course, the conversation on energy co-operation is ongoing, including through the EU-Canada high-level energy dialogue. There are options for mid- to long-term energy co-operation on the table.
