The European Union’s planned package to curb surging natural-gas prices must avert an increase in the use of the fuel amid an unprecedented supply crunch, EU energy chief Kadri Simson said.
The European Commission is due to propose a set of measures Tuesday to alleviate the impact of Russia’s cuts on companies and consumers. Commissioners will discuss possible solutions at an extraordinary meeting on Sunday, Simson told the Cypriot newspaper Politis in an interview.
