The sanctions we have imposed to date are having an impact. The European Council is clear that it will respond with further wide-ranging measures if there is any further destabilisation in Ukraine by Russia.</p><p> </p><p>The contract between Gazprom and Centrica is a commercial matter. It relates to a small part of total gas supply to the UK. While the contract is with a Russian company, the gas can be sourced from anywhere in the European network. The UK is not dependent on Russian energy imports and this contract does not alter that.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma

	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the proposal by the European Commission to ban the use of halogen light bulbs throughout the European Union; whether they will oppose any such policy; and whether they consider that it would comply with the principle of subsidiarity.
	tabling member printed	Lord Stoddart of Swindon
	uin	HL5410
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2015 answer text <p>There are no proposals to ban the use of halogen lightbulbs in the EU. Regulation EC 244/2009, which is made under the provisions of the Ecodesign of Energy-related Products Directive (2009/125/EC), came into force in September 2009. Since then it has progressively removed the least efficient domestic lighting from the market.</p><p>On 1<sup>st</sup> September 2016 stage 6 will prevent halogen lightbulbs that are equivalent to a “C” label class from being placed on the EU market. Come September 2016, stocks of “C” class halogens already in the supply chain can continue to be sold and used, though manufacturers will cease supplying new “C” class bulbs at this point. However, “B” and “A” label class halogens lightbulbs will be unaffected by the regulation and will still be allowed.</p><p>The UK Government supports Ecodesign regulations that reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing consumers’ bills, greenhouse gas emissions and increasing our energy security.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 17/03/2015 14:54:50 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
