  "partner": "Eurostat asks member states for imports by country of origin, but several report the country the gas physically came from: Ukraine, Belarus, Tunisia, Albania, Türkiye, Serbia and Switzerland are transit countries, and gas from the UK is largely Norwegian or regasified LNG. These are flagged, with the likely origin, and never added to the origin country.",
  "lng": "LNG is credited to the partner the member state reports, normally the country where it was liquefied. LNG re-exported from another EU terminal counts as intra-EU and is excluded from extra-EU figures; re-loaded LNG may still appear under the last loading country.",
  "intra": "EU-27 figures are imports from outside the EU: all imports minus imports from the 27 member states (summed, because the EU27_2020 partner aggregate is empty in this dataset). Gas moving between member states, such as Norwegian gas landed in Germany and sent on to Czechia, is therefore counted once.",
  "uk": "UK figures: DESNZ Energy Trends 4.3 (imports by pipeline and LNG origin) and 4.4 (exports). Physical pipeline flows; LNG by country of origin, cargoes from 2016. Exports to Belgium and the Netherlands are largely re-exported Norwegian gas and regasified LNG.",
