Greece succeeded in having the need to consider additional targeted and temporary measures to tackle high energy prices reflected in the European Council conclusions on energy, government sources said.
Of particular importance is the reference to the different conditions across member states, recognising the need to take account of each country’s specific circumstances.
The conclusions are moving in the direction advocated by the Prime Minister, keeping the need for additional measures on the European agenda. The next step is to consider specific, targeted and temporary measures to address the pressure on households and businesses.
