“Maka kami akan melakukan somasi final dan melakukan upaya hukum terkait perbuatan tersebut berdasarkan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku,” demikian Gembong.
Moscow has warned that Brussels’ talk of a bloc-wide cap on natural gas prices would increase market instability. Who controls gas prices? Who sets them? What factors, economic and geopolitical, impact them? The answer is: it’s a bit complicated. As Russia’s president once said, gas isn’t a commodity “like watches, underwear or neckties.”
European Union energy ministers’ discussion of a “market correction mechanism,” or a cap on natural gas prices, cannot but lead to the destabilization of the market and will result in heightened uncertainty, says Russian Ambassador-at-Large Yuri Sentyurin.
“There may be a variety of mad ideas on this matter, these are definitely not measures which can be classified as market measures,” Sentyurin, an energy market specialist, told Sputnik in an interview, referring to the ongoing EU price cap talks. “These are counter-market tools. In my view, all of this will lead to the unpleasant consequence of the degradation of markets,” Sentyurin said.
EU energy ministers are continuing gas price cap talks Monday, with Estonian Economy Minister Riina Sikkut explaining last week that the proposed capping mechanism could be triggered if European prices hit 35 euros per megawatt hour above those of global LNG prices over three days. Sikkut expressed “hope” that a deal could be reached soon, “in the spirit of Christmas.” Alternative price cap rates have been floated, and disagreements over the rate are at the core of ongoing discussions.
How are Natural Gas Prices Determined?
In ordinary circumstances and under market conditions, natural gas prices are roughly linked to oil and other sources of energy and heating, such as coal. Typically, as oil prices rise or fall, natural gas prices follow suit, often with a lag of between one and six months. The correlation is stronger in some markets (such as Europe) than in others (such as the United States).
Gas demand is also affected by a variety of other factors, including:
Weather. (The colder seasonal low temperatures are, the more natural gas is used, meaning higher demand.)
Economic activity. For instance, global gas consumption fell from 3.9 trillion cubic meters in 2019 to 3.84 trillion cubic meters in 2020 due to the economic slowdown caused by COVID lockdowns, before surging in 2021 to over 4.03 trillion cubic meters as economies opened back up and Europe and Asia ramped up competition for limited supplies.
Alternative sources of energy. In Europe, natural gas is used for power generation (26 percent), to make energy for industry (23 percent), and heating for buildings (most of the remainder). As alternatives to gas come online (solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal), the proportion of gas in the overall energy balance could decline, even as absolute values typically do not, since overall global energy consumption tends to rise year after year and decade after decade. Poorer than expected performance of alternative energy sources in 2021 caused by cloudy weather and weak winds showed that these are not the "green energy" panacea some officials hoped they would be, and that traditional hydrocarbons are likely to remain a mainstay for humanity well into the 22nd century, unless some cutting-edge energy generation technology such as fusion power is quickly developed and widely adopted.
Storage capacity. Storing natural gas is far more difficult than storing other hydrocarbons, like oil and coal. As Russian President Vladimir Putin said in late 2021 while discussing the causes of Europe’s energy crisis, “gas isn’t watches, underwear or neckties, not cars, and not even oil, which can be built or pumped and then stored anywhere, including in tankers in anticipation of a certain on the market. Gas is not traded this way, it cannot be stored this way.” 80-90 percent of the EU’s natural gas is held in special, pressurized underground facilities, such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, aquifers or salt caverns. The EU has over 250 gas storage facilities, and in ordinary circumstances, most bloc members require that at least 15 percent of the nation’s energy needs be available in the form of reserves. Consequently, the less storage capacity a country has, or the longer it waits to refill depleted reserves while prices ebb, typically in the spring and summer months, the higher price it may be forced to pay when winter comes around and demand skyrockets.
Plain old supply and demand. Like most other energy sources, natural gas is an exhaustible resource, meaning its supply isn’t limitless. As new natural gas fields are discovered, developed, or exhausted, markets react and prices fluctuate up or down.
Artificial intervention. Geopolitics can also play a major role, as this year’s events have shown. If a major supplier of natural gas becomes unavailable for some reason (if the European Union sets restrictions on Russian gas deliveries, for example), prices go up. If a country’s gas fields are occupied and production infrastructure is destroyed or damaged (the US occupation of northeastern Syria, for example), prices go up.
Russia is the world’s second-largest producer of natural gas, producing over 700 billion cubic meters of gas (bcm) per year and exporting over 200 bcm of that in 2021. If and when an artificial, politicized intervention results in Russian gas exports dropping significantly, prices will go up, and alternative suppliers, such as the United States, will wriggle their way into the market, and sell their fracking-derived liquefied natural gas to the Europeans for “three to four times” more than US consumers are made to pay, as French President Emmanuel Macron recently complained.
How do Spot Gas Prices Differ From Long-Term Contracts?
There are two main methods of setting prices for natural gas: reliance on "spot" market prices, which can fluctuate wildly by the month, the week, the day, or even the hour, or dependence on long-term contracts, which are negotiated between countries, and which can be inked for years or even decades at a time.
Until the 2000s, gas prices in Europe were largely set by long-term contracts linked to oil prices. As demand, and subsequently prices, for the commodities began to shift, and as more and more alternative sources of supply became available, so too did some countries’ perspective on long-term contracts, with buyers hoping to take advantage of a perceived glut in the market to buy up gas on the cheap. In 2021, these hopes withered, and the International Energy Agency estimated that the EU overpaid about $30 billion thanks to reliance on spot prices than they would have using long-term contracts.
Russian energy giant Gazprom, which until the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine had supplied the EU with as much as 40 percent of its natural gas supplies, has a well-known penchant for long-term contracts, as this means more stability, and the ability to plan ahead when making costly investments like developing new gas fields, pipeline and storage infrastructure, etc. For example, the Nord Stream network, which increased available Russian energy to Europe by some 110 bcm, cost Gazprom and its partners over $20 billion to build – an expense easier to swallow when you have partners ready to agree to long-term contracts.
Why is Natural Gas Valuable?
Natural gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels and, along with nuclear power, one of the cleanest "traditional" sources of energy available to humanity today. Anthracite coal produces about 228 pounds of CO2 per million British thermal units (Btus), with diesel fuel making 161 pounds, gasoline 157 pounds, and propane 139 pounds. Natural gas, on the other hand, creates just 117 pounds of CO2 per million Btus. The energy source may be more polluting, particularly if it’s derived using techniques like fracking. However, using conventional well drilling, it’s by far the least polluting of all the fossil fuels.
Until the escalation of the Ukraine crisis in February, natural gas was among the most dependable sources of energy for Europe, with the massive network of pipelines, both offshore and onshore, together with LNG terminals, accounting for nearly 13,700 petajoules (1 petajoule = 278 gigawatt hours) of energy, or 24 percent of the region’s total gross available energy, in 2020.
The ongoing dispute with Russia has already resulted in a European energy price and supply crunch unseen since the 1970s Arab oil embargo, resulting in a variety of unpleasant consequences for ordinary Europeans, from outrageously high costs for heating and hot water, to higher prices of fuel for vehicles, to a jump in food prices, and galloping inflation.
Potentially far more serious are the dispute’s long-term consequences – which could include the EU’s deindustrialization as manufacturers flock to regions where energy is cheaper. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned as far back as May that a politicized rejection of Russian oil and natural gas by the Europeans would constitute economic suicide.
As 2022 comes to a close and the Biden administration is now openly enticing European industries to move to America via subsidies in the US’ "Inflation Reduction Act," Brussels’ talk of a new cap on natural gas seems aimed at speeding up the region’s descent into an economic dark age.
In September, it was reported that the government of the Netherlands was preparing to issue an official apology for the European nation’s key role in slave trade history. In addition, the Dutch government was said to launch a 200-million-euro fund for projects aimed at raising the public’s awareness of the legacy of slavery
On Monday, the Netherlands is expected to issue an official apology for the Dutch nation’s key role in slave trade in the past, becoming the first European country to apologize formally for its role in the dark history of trading enslaved people.
The apology is expected to be made by the country’s Prime Minister Mark Rutte during a speech in The Hague.
Apart from that, the PM is reportedly set to launch a 200-million-euro fund (about $213 million) aimed at education people about the legacy of slavery.
Last week, Rutte said that the fund was not intended for reparation, adding that the move, which he described as an “important moment”, would not be the “end point” of the Dutch government’s efforts to settle the country’s colonial past.
The Dutch government stressed that the fund is meant to “strengthen knowledge about the meaning of discrimination in everyday life and take legal measures to combat racism and xenophobia.
Critics, according to local media reports, view the Dutch government’s unprecedented move as coming too late, arguing that apologizing for salve trade would not address institutional racism in the country.
Jesse Klaver, the leader of the Green Left Party, argued that PM Rutte’s apology would have been more effective if the descendants of slavery trade victims would be involved in the conversation.
“I am positive about the fact that they are going to apologize, but not about the way in which they are doing this,” Klaver stated, as cited by media. “An apology is a process you start together, you discuss what is needed.”
The Netherlands was among the biggest slave traders in the world in the period between the 16th and the 19th centuries, having colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
As the country reckons with its colonial past, in July 2021, the mayor of the Netherlands’ capital Amsterdam officially apologized for “the active involvement of the Amsterdam city council in the commercial system of colonial slavery and the worldwide trade in enslaved people”.
Earlier this year, the Dutch Central Bank and ABN AMRO Bank NV, the third-largest Dutch bank, also issued formal apologies for their historical role in slave trade.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has called his Argentine counterpart, Alberto Fernandez, to congratulate him on the victory of the Argentine national team in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Vladimir Putin has just held a phone conversation with President Fernandez of Argentina and warmly congratulated him on the victory of the Argentine national team at the FIFA World Cup," Peskov told reporters on Sunday.
Brazil’s President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has also congratulated Argentina with its victory. Brazil lost to Croatia in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
"Happy with the victory of the Argentine neighbors. Great game from Messi, who really deserved (victory), and Di Maria. Congratulations to the players, the coaching staff from Argentina and my friend Alberto Fernandez," Lula da Silva said on Twitter on Sunday.
Feliz com a vitória dos vizinhos argentinos. Grande jogo de Messi, que merecia muito, e Di Maria. Parabéns jogadores, comissão técnica da Argentina e meu amigo @alferdez 🇦🇷
Earlier in the day, Argentina defeated France 4-2 on penalties, following a 3-3 draw after extra time, and won the World Cup for the third time (previous victories in 1978 and 1986).
French President Emmanuel Macron offered "Congratulations to Argentina for their victory" in a Twitter post on Sunday.
In the semifinal game on Wednesday France defeated Morocco 2-0. On Saturday, Croatia won the World Cup bronze medal, beating Morocco 2-1 in the third-place playoff.

"Like millions of my compatriots, I will enjoy the final of the World Cup at home," he said Sunday on Twitter.
"I will live this fantastic moment as I have up to now, together with my people," he said. "Our best will be on the field, and our glorious fans in the stands."
Fernandez is a passionate fan of Argentinos Juniors, the team from which football superstar Diego Maradona emerged.
Argentina’s President Alberto Fernández tweeted: “Thanks to the players and coaching team. They are the example that we should not give up. That we have great people and a great future.”
Even Brazil, La Albiceleste’s great rival, sent congratulations.
La alegría del tamaño del mundo ❤️ Así nos sentimos y así lo compartimos con todos nuestros pueblos hermanos @DiazCanelB. https://t.co/rtNoAMv4jI
Gracias por este saludo presidente Putin. Que la alegría que hoy une a la Argentina con tantos pueblos del mundo sirva como ejemplo: nuestras sociedades necesitan unidad y paz. https://t.co/g13PYw5iMM
IN THIS AERIAL VIEW FANS OF ARGENTINA GATHER AT THE OBELISK TO CELEBRATE WINNING THE QATAR 2022 WORLD CUP AGAINST FRANCE IN BUENOS AIRES, ON DECEMBER 18, 2022. | EMILIANO LASALVIA/AFP
Watching football icon Lionel Messi inspire Argentina to World Cup glory on Sunday made the economic suffering engulfing the country "worth it," according to ecstatic fans.
Fireworks cracked, car horns sounded and fans draped in the national blue and white colours sang, danced and waved flags.
An estimated two million people converged around the iconic Obelisk in central Buenos Aires as the party raged long into the warm night on the shores of the River Plate.
The skipper scored two goals against France as the game ended 3-3 after extra-time, with Kylian Mbappé bagging a hat-trick for the reigning champions.
Messi also netted in the shoot-out with goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez saving one penalty before Gonzalo Montiel banged in the winning spot-kick to send Argentine players and fans into raptures.
"This is happiness for everyone, for all these people. Today it was our turn and the joy is ours," said hotel receptionist Julio Berdun, 50, from the capital's Plaza de Mayo square.
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it," repeated Joel Ciarallo, 31, over and again before the final had even finished.
The final was a torturous affair for many fans as Argentina lost a 2-0 half-time lead to be forced into extra-time.
France, just like the Netherlands did to Argentina in the quarter-finals, scored two late goals to prolong the match.
Having taken the lead again in extra-time, through Messi, Argentina were once more pegged back when Mbappé completed his hat-trick with another last gasp equalizer, condemning fans to the nail-biting drama of a penalty shoot-out.
"Epic, this is epic, all of Argentine history is suffering like this," said a fan watching the game on a giant screen in the Centenario park in the capital.
"We were born to suffer, that's how we Argentines are," agreed beer vendor Manuel Erazo. "But we keep going, that's the way the country is."
'Richly deserved distraction'
Watching the World Cup final and dreaming about winning has been a much needed exercise in escapism for citizens of a country that has suffered years of economic turmoil due to spiralling inflation.
Some 40 percent of the 45 million population lives in poverty while soaring inflation and currency devaluation has caused havoc with savings and disposable income.
Argentina "is going through an economic rollercoaster where it's always hard to make ends meet at the end of the month," said Agustín Acevedo, 25, a construction worker from Temperley, who came to Buenos Aires to watch the final.
But "it's perfect, everything we've suffered has been worth it for this."
"Let's be clear, Argentina is in trouble, economically, socially, it's bad. So this distraction is richly deserved," said Acevedo.
As night fell, the Obelisk – the traditional site for sporting celebrations – was lit up, highlighting the swarms of people thronging not just the square itself but every street off it as far as the eye could see.
Ska band La Mosca played a concert in Buenos Aires with an updated version of the team's official World Cup song 'Muchachos,' with the lyrics tweaked to acknowledge Argentina's third title.
The joy was tangible but there was also palpable relief after ending a 36-year gap since their last world title.
"I'm 35, I've been waiting 35 years for this moment in my life, I can't believe it, 35 years waiting for this dream," said Soledad Palacios. "I've been waiting my whole life to enjoy the World Cup."
In Rosario, the home town of Messi and Ángel Di María, Argentina's other final goalscorer on Sunday, fans of rival teams Newell's Old Boys and Rosario Central buried their differences and cheered shoulder to shoulder.
"This national team brings everyone together. You see fans of Central and Newell's hugging, singing. That's the most beautiful thing there is," said Nahuel Cantero, 21.
"This team deserves everything. This is crazy, more than anyone Messi [deserves it] because he never gave up and tried so hard," said 23-year-old Martín Reina.
With the team due to arrive back in Argentina on Monday night ahead of an expected open-top bus parade on Tuesday, the locals in Rosario had just one wish.
"If Messi and Di María come to Rosario to celebrate, we will be delighted," said Micaela Lourdes, 20, who watched the final with her mother.
