Part of the "superprofits" of energy producers will be redistributed to consumers. European energy ministers reached an agreement on Friday on emergency measures to help households and businesses cope with soaring energy prices, the Czech Presidency of the Council of the EU announced. These measures consist in recovering part of the "superprofits" of energy producers to redistribute them to consumers, and in reducing the demand for electricity at peak times.
