"Luăm situaţia foarte în serios" - Avertisment de la Bruxelles: UE anticipează "ierni dificile" și prețuri "foarte mari" la petrol și gaze

The European Union anticipates high energy prices this winter but does not foresee supply issues, according to Commissioner Dan Jorgensen. He highlighted the challenges posed by the Middle East conflict, noting that nearly 50 million Europeans struggle to heat their homes adequately. To alleviate market pressures, the EU is considering delaying methane emission regulations for hydrocarbon imports by a year. This proposal, supported by French President Emmanuel Macron, aims to ease the burden on energy companies. However, it faces opposition from fossil fuel-producing countries and environmental organizations, which argue it undermines climate policy.
