Rob Jetten, head of the Dutch Ministry of Climate and Energy, said that Amsterdam believes the gas price cap in the EU is potentially unsafe for gas supply, so they do not support this proposal. It has been reported DEA News.
According to him, the European gas price limit became clear after the EU Council decision. The minister argues that, despite minor improvements in the situation, currently the cost ceiling is potentially unsafe for gas supplies.
“The Netherlands therefore does not support this proposal in its current form,” Jetten said.
He stressed that he was concerned about possible risks to the European energy market, security of supply and financial results.
Former Council of the European Union saidThe ceiling for gas prices in the EU from February 15 will be €180 (about €1.85 thousand per thousand cubic meters).
The document states that the gas price “adjustment” mechanism can be activated from 15 February if the gas price remains at 180 € for three days and the difference between the prices on the TTF exchange and the average price of liquefied natural gas is more than 35 €. .
