The Twenty-Seven demand urgent measures from Von der Leyen in the face of "skyrocketing" energy prices
"We have to acknowledge that winter is going to be tough in some industries and for some families," admits Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen.
EU leaders are meeting in Brussels to address a growing energy crisis, which they fear may exacerbate social discontent. They are calling on the European Commission to take urgent measures to tackle the "skyrocketing" prices of fossil fuels. The leaders stress that the crisis requires a coordinated European response with specific and temporary measures. The meeting comes ahead of a series of elections, starting with Spain in November.
