“Our primary goal is low energy prices, a prerequisite for the quality of life of European citizens, especially the most vulnerable, as well as for the competitiveness of European industry.” This was noted by the Minister of Environment and Energy, Stavros Papastavrou, during his attendance with the Council of Energy Ministers of the European Union, which is being held in Brussels.

“That is why we welcome the European Union’s affordable prices of affordable prices announced by the European Commission, as it includes many of our country’s proposals,” Papastavrou stressed.

The unified market, with no obstacles and distortions, should also be a crucial element for the new energy policy, as well as the support and finance of EU interconnectedness, such as Greece with Cyprus, which is of broader geostrategic importance, the Minister added.

In detail, Mr. Papastavrou said:

“Today, amid major geopolitical challenges, we are called upon to make critical decisions on Europe’s energy and future.

Our primary goal is low energy prices, a prerequisite for the quality of life of European citizens, especially the most vulnerable, as well as the competitiveness of European industry.

That is why we welcome the action plan for affordable prices of the European Union announced by the European Commission, as it includes many of our country’s proposals, highlighted by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in his letter to the President of the Commission.

We are called upon to make important decisions. The unified market, with no obstacles and distortions, should also be a critical element for the new energy policy, as well as the support and financing of EU interconnectedness, such as Greece with Cyprus, which is of broader geostrategic importance.

We need to move immediately and collectively so that Europe of 27 can quickly evolve into a single, competitive, and at the same time fair and durable energy union.

We are promoting this agenda. “
