A package of emergency energy measures proposed by the European Commission last week to mitigate the effects of the current energy crisis should be adopted by the end of November, senior officials said here.
Tuesday’s meeting of the European Union (EU) member states’ energy ministers in Luxembourg “showed that our efforts to secure the approval of the package of measures to reduce energy prices … are on the right track”, said Jozef Sikela, the Czech Republic’s Minister for industry and trade.
“That is why I am calling another extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers on November 24, where we will finish everything,” Xinhua news agency quoted Sikela, who is also the Council chair, as saying.
