Macron solicită UE să relaxeze normele privind energia și clima pentru a atenua creșterea vertiginoasă a prețurilor la combustibili

French President Emmanuel Macron has urged the European Commission to ease EU fuel composition and methane emission regulations to manage rising energy prices. This request comes amid escalating oil prices due to Middle Eastern conflicts. Macron faces domestic pressure from high fuel costs but has limited fiscal space to reduce internal fuel taxes. He has proposed delaying the implementation of new EU methane emission penalties and temporarily relaxing fuel quality standards. Additionally, France plans to hold a G7 meeting to address soaring fuel prices and the broader impacts of the Middle Eastern crisis. The French government has already provided subsidies to affected sectors and is expected to announce further measures soon.
