European energy ministers began discussions during an emergency meeting in Brussels in order to reach an agreement on reducing prices, and the current Czech Presidency of the Union said that measures must be taken against the skyrocketing prices: adding, "They gave a clear signal" that the member states of the European Union must send " A clear signal" that it "will do what is necessary to protect families and businesses and ensure adequate and affordable energy." He explained. We want agreement by the end of this month on concrete measures that can mitigate price hikes.

According to Czech Industry Minister Josef Sekila, who will lead the meeting, The media in Brussels quoted the Czech minister as saying, “Member states must remain united against Russian President Vladimir Putin, who “wants to break the social peace in our countries by manipulating the gas market, affecting our way of life and affecting our economies.” "We need to send a clear signal that we will do what it takes to protect our families and businesses and ensure adequate energy at affordable prices," Sekila said. The Czech Republic wants ministers to give a clear mandate to the European Commission to present concrete measures next week. We want to have an agreement on this by the end of September.

The Commission put forward five proposals this week: reducing peak electricity consumption, a framework to support energy traders who have to offer increasingly higher guarantees, a joint contribution from gas and oil companies, a cap on income from low-cost energy producers and a price cap for Russian gas

Belgium wants to go further and cap the price of gas from third world countries. The question is whether our country and other defenders can muster sufficient support. “There is certainly a landing zone. There are not many member states who are completely against it, but some want more guarantees on security of supply.” To ensure security of supply, Belgium is calling for a dynamic ceiling linked to Asian prices. And agreement with emergency suppliers. After all, opponents fear that ships with LNG will ignore Europe if the price is capped. Then there is a good chance that you are short on gas. If you push prices down, the effect is usually that providers go elsewhere. "We want to hit Putin," Dutch Minister of State Hans Willberev said. Philbrev says he wants to consider all options, but would prefer to "help citizens pay for gas" rather than general price caps
