Protecting Europe's Energy Security Act of 2019
This bill directs the President to impose visa- and asset-blocking sanctions on any foreign person that knowingly provides pipe-laying vessels for constructing a Russian-origin energy export pipeline that makes landfall in Germany or Turkey.
The President may waive the sanctions as to specific persons if it is in the U.S. national interest to do so and if the President notifies Congress of the decision.

A BILL
To impose sanctions with respect to the provision of certain vessels for the construction of Russian energy export pipelines, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the “Protecting Europe’s Energy Security Act of 2019”.
SEC. 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; and
(B) the non-Russian parties involved in the project have taken concrete steps to ensure that it will not result in a significant decrease in the transit of Russian energy exports through existing pipelines in other countries, particularly Ukraine.
SEC. 3. SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF PIPE-LAYING VESSELS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF RUSSIAN ENERGY EXPORT PIPELINES.
(a) In General.—The President shall impose the sanctions described in subsection (b) on each foreign person that the President determines knowingly, on or after the date of the enactment of this Act, sells, leases, or provides pipe-laying vessels for the construction of any Russian-origin energy export pipeline that makes landfall in Germany or Turkey. …"
