Brussels is examining the possibility of a price ceiling on all gas imported into the EU, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday.

"LNG is scarce and can be rerouted to different regions... We [want to] stay competitive for LNG suppliers but make sure that the prices we pay are not extraordinarily high but in a decent range," she told reporters.

EU countries mostly import the costly LNG from the US and Qatar, using it to diversify gas imports in light of

shrinking supplies from Russia. However, some analysts warn that producers might not be eager European countries if their profits are capped.
