Energy ministers from the EU are analyzing measures to combat the rise in energy prices. Romania and two other states reject the return to Russian gas.

The Energy Ministers of the European Union met to discuss measures aimed at limiting the impact of rising energy prices, caused by the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. Germany, Romania, and Sweden rejected the idea of returning to Russian gas, considering it an unsafe solution.

The European Commission is working on a set of emergency measures, including state aid for industry and the reduction of certain national taxes.

The European Commissioner for Energy, Dan Jorgensen, assured that energy supply is secure, with most imports coming from stable sources.

Gas prices in Europe have risen by over 50% since the beginning of the conflict, and some states are calling for broader interventions, such as suspending the carbon emissions trading system.

However, European officials are cautious, emphasizing the need for stability in the markets. This energy crisis reveals the structural differences between member states, affecting their ability to respond.
