Austrian Minister of Labor and Economy Martin Kocher said in an interview: The standardthat energy prices in EU countries will decrease over time due to the creation of new infrastructure for the delivery of hydrocarbons.
“Infrastructure, new pipelines, new liquefied gas terminals are being built. At the same time, although it takes time, the price has to come down,” he said.
According to him, “ideally” EU countries will be able to moderate the development of prices in the short run and then remove the causes of their growth at the European level.
formerly Bloomberg reportedThat the European Union restricts gas prices could only exacerbate the situation with the energy crisis.
The EU gas price cap mechanism can help prevent price fluctuations. However, the publication pointed out that because of this, Europe will become particularly vulnerable in terms of gas supply and increased competition from Asian countries.
