Quotation： Russia accounts for the largest portion of the EU’s natural gas imports in the period investigated. In2001, 58% (51%) of the EU’s imports (including LNG) came from Russia. By 2005, Russia’s importance dropped to 50% (43%), and by 2010, it dropped to 44% (33%) due to increasing imports from Norway and the surge in LNG imports from the Middle East [10].

Paraphrase: Russia is the largest portion of the EU’s natural gas imports, but Russia’s importance is dropping due to increasing imports from Norway and Middle East.

Summary: Although Russia is the largest portion of the EU’s natural gas imports, its importance is dropping.
