The impact of the conflict in Ukraine on the bloc’s energy market will be the main topic of discussion at the leaders of the European Union’s next two-day summit in Brussels on Thursday.
It is anticipated that the European Commission’s recent proposal, which goes so far as to explain how the gas price ceiling operates, will provide guidance to leaders on how to lower gas prices.
While the majority of nations support this action, some, like Germany and the Netherlands, remain dubious.
The idea, which was presented on Tuesday, anticipates lowering the cost of gas in large quantities only as a last resort.
European Union leaders are also expected to discuss how to finance potential gas price measures and aid packages to reduce the burden on families and companies in light of the high energy costs.
Some European Commissioners and Member States, especially Italy, wish to address the energy crisis with policies akin to those that were proposed during the Coffee-19 crisis, when the member states of the European Union took out loans together.
European Union leaders will likely talk about energy pricing in addition to Ukraine’s support following a devastating wave of Russian missile strikes and drone attacks that ravaged the nation this week.
Only 3 billion euros have been spent thus far, prompting demands to change how the bloc provides aid to the war-torn nation.
