Reports say Gazprom has met with EU officials to discuss the European Commission’s current competition probe into the gas giant, a case that has been placed in limbo as tensions mount over Russia’s takeover of the Ukrainian region of Crimea.

EU energy head Günther Oettinger told reporters that the purpose of the meeting “was to discuss current issues related to energy and security of supply,” but did not elaborate.
