The European Commission is working on two types of gas price caps: one is "a price cap on gas used to generate electricity" and the other is "a cap on energy traded in Europe as long as we are working on a reform of the Ttf index ".
Commission spokesman Eric Mamer said this during the daily briefing, stating that in her speech this morning in the European Parliament, President Ursula von der Leyen "did not mention a price cap on gas imported from Russia".
