Comisia Europeană va analiza introducerea unei taxe pe profiturile excepţionale ale companiilor energetice

The European Commission is considering a tax on the extraordinary profits of energy companies to alleviate the impact of rising energy prices. This follows requests from several member states, including Germany, for such measures. The EU previously set revenue limits for certain energy producers, but the results were below expectations. The discussion on energy price reduction will be a key topic at the upcoming EU summit, with limited clear solutions due to reliance on external fossil fuel supplies. Member states may implement national caps on energy companies' extraordinary profits.
