Without agreement on the idea of imposing a general price-cap on the price of natural gas, but with initiatives in the near future to bridge the differences, the EU’s emergency Council of Energy Ministers concluded today in Brussels.
The Greek Minister of Environment and Energy, Kostas Skrekas, told APE-MPE that the Energy Ministers of Greece, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Poland and Spain agreed to hold within the next weeks a teleconference in order to submit a joint proposal to the Commission for a general price-cap on the price of natural gas.
