European Union leaders urged the bloc’s energy regulator to propose a strategy to strengthen the internal market and boost security after the conflict in eastern Ukraine jeopardized supplies from Russia.
EU heads of government called on the European Commission to present a comprehensive energy-union proposal “well ahead” of their next gathering in March, according to a political statement adopted at today’s summit in Brussels. Leaders of the EU’s 28 member states also discussed a 315 billion-euro ($387 billion) investment plan proposed by the commission.
