The EU has paid more than EUR 100 billion extra for energy imports over six months without receiving a single additional molecule of energy.

Omissions

• The official European Commission source frames the period as 'since the start of the war' or 'this year', not explicitly as 'six months'. The exact six-month window referenced by the MEP could not be independently confirmed from the sources found.
• The Commission figure refers specifically to fossil fuel imports, while the MEP's wording generalises to 'energy imports'; the 'molecule' phrasing makes clear the reference is to gas and oil.
