In addition to fixing the cost of gas in Europe, it is proposed to separate the prices for electricity and gas.
Some EU countries are calling for a freeze on gas prices, writes the BBC.
In particular, such an initiative was made by the Minister of Energy of Belgium, Tinne Van der Streten.
“The next five to 10 winters will be terrible if we do nothing. We need to work on freezing gas prices,” he tweeted, adding that pegging electricity prices to gas prices is artificial and needs reform.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer also called for splitting the price of electricity and gas.
“We must stop the madness that is happening now in the energy markets. We cannot allow Putin to determine the price of electricity in Europe every day,” he said.
Last week, the price of gas in Europe rose to $3,500 per thousand cubic meters, but later the price decreased slightly.
