LAST UPDATE: 21:35
The European Commission will be empowered to enter into common energy markets so that the European Union can control its energy supply and deal with high prices, French President Emanuel Macron was quoted as saying by Reuters.
Macron also said in a press conference in Brussels that the disconnect between the price of electricity and the price of gas must be improved.
As Macron noted, The Commission was asked to set a ceiling on energy prices in the short term.
The French president said he hoped to have more talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin “in the coming hours” about the situation in Ukraine and any plans to help people leave Mariupol.
Macron also noted that there is no reason for France to accept Russia’s demand to pay in Russian rubles for Russian gas.
