Priority question for written answer P-002260/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Mihai Tudose (S&D)
The European Council meeting of 17-18 October 2024 assessed the high electricity prices in several EU countries and called on the Commission to urgently bring forward proposals to address this issue.
It is regrettable, to say the least, that the Council should need to intervene, as the Commission was aware of these high energy prices, especially in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece.
How and when does the Commission plan to take action, particularly as regards the lack of storage capacity and inadequate cross-border infrastructure in south-east Europe?
Quite apart from the social and economic implications of this situation, the Commission should be aware of the strategic dimension of dysfunctions in the energy sector in our region.
