(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 05 - "We are ready to discuss the introduction of a cap on the price of gas used for the production of electricity".
This was written by the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in a letter addressed to EU leaders in view of the informal summit in Prague.
Von der Leyen also proposed "to work together with member states to develop an intervention to limit gas prices in the LNG market", adding that the Ttf index is no longer representative ". The president of the EU executive therefore encouraged member countries and importing companies to "step up negotiations with reputable suppliers to reduce the prices of imported gas of all kinds", and confirmed that "the Commission will examine complementary funding sources to increase RePowerEu's firepower."
