There are no plans at the moment to hold an emergency EU summit in July to find ways to tackle rising gas prices, a European official said.
“There are no plans,” he said when asked about information about holding an emergency summit next month.
The official said that Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi proposed in internal discussions yesterday to hold an extraordinary European summit in July to discuss a proposal to impose a ceiling on Russian gas prices.
However, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croix warned today that European Union countries need to start buying energy together and imposing a gas price cap to prevent a major crisis next winter.
“We have to form an energy bloc. If we all work on our own behalf, we will all sink on our own behalf,” the Belgian prime minister said before the start of work on the second day of the summit.
“We need to start buying energy together, we need to impose a price cap and we need to make joint plans to spend the winter,” he said.
