1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Protecting Europe’s Energy Security Act of 2019 . 2. Sense of Congress on Russian energy projects It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Government of the Russian Federation, working through Russian state-owned enterprises, uses energy as a tool of coercion and political leverage; (2) the Government of Russia pursues a strategy to make European countries dependent on Russia for energy supplies, so as to increase this political leverage; (3) a central aspect to this Russian strategy is the development of export energy pipelines that are driven not by commercial viability but by the foreign policy goals of Russia; (4) the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and the Turk Stream pipeline are two examples of such Russian energy export pipelines; (5) the President should take action to halt such Russian energy export pipelines unless the President determines that doing so is not in the national interest of the United States; and (6) in making such a determination, the President should consider whether— (A) the non-Russian parties involved in the project have put in place safeguards to minimize the ability of Russia to use the pipeline as a tool of coercion and political leverage, including by requiring unbundling of energy production and transmission, transparency in the energy market, and effective regulatory oversight
