The European Commission clearly rejected the request of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to lift the sanctions imposed on Russia's oil sector. On Tuesday, European Commissioner for the Economy Valdis Dombrovskis clearly stated that the Commission does not support easing the sanctions in order to stabilize high energy prices. In a letter, Orbán asked Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to suspend all sanctions related to Russian energy raw materials, which, according to him, was necessary to stop the rise in oil prices. hnonline.sk ↗ respekt.cz ↗
However, the Commission is maintaining its position. At the same time, it confirmed that the Union's member states have sufficient reserves of oil and gas, although the Commission is concerned about security of supply. In this regard, the United States supports the idea of a coordinated release of oil from strategic reserves. hnonline.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
On Friday, Brussels is also closely monitoring the energy situation in the Union and states that there is no immediate risk of gas shortages. President von der Leyen also admitted at the Paris summit that Europe's recent departure from nuclear energy was a mistake, signaling a shift in the Commission's approach to nuclear power. Slovakia's Regulatory Office for Network Industries is meanwhile working on an amendment to the pricing decree aimed at achieving lower electricity prices for domestic industry. trend.sk ↗ ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
