Energy crisis: In 4 axes the Commission’s plan: Ceiling under conditions and with a time limit

According to the information of SKAI, the Commission’s plan for dealing with the energy crisis is based on four axes.

In Brussels, the processes are feverish and the background rages especially at the Commission, which is called upon to square the circle and synthesize the conflicting views on the ceiling on natural gas.

Time is also pressing because on Thursday the 27 leaders meet in order to reach a decision.

As the information states based on the above, the first concerns the common supply of natural gas, a platform that will allow the European Union to supply natural gas on a European basis.

The European Commission will use its negotiating power to procure natural gas at much more competitive prices and this platform will also act as a safety net for the smaller member states that are weaker as buyers.

The second axis concerns a solidarity mechanism.

If there is a member state that finds itself in a state of emergency, i.e. it runs out of natural gas in the winter, it will be supplied by another at a fair price.

The third axis concerns the reduction of the demand for natural gas. There is a proposed decision to reduce consumption by 15% this winter.

The Commission is discussing whether it could request the activation of a state of emergency that would make the cap mandatory

As a last measure, the Commission proposes a dynamic ceiling on the Indian natural gas sector, a measure requested by Greece along with at least 14 other countries, which will have a time horizon of around three months.
