Representatives of the European Union member states and the European Commission will meet on Friday, October 2, to discuss a coordinated response to rising fuel prices, particularly diesel. The meeting will take place amid tension between Europe and the United States regarding diesel fuel supplies. Le Figaro ↗
The talks were called after reports that US President Donald Trump is threatening to suspend diesel exports to Europe for a period of 90 days. Such a measure could deepen pressure on the European fuel market and increase concerns about supply shortages. RTE News ↗
The United States is also asking its allies to immediately release strategic fuel reserves. European representatives will therefore discuss options for a joint approach and coordination between member states and the European Commission. hnonline.sk ↗
The United Kingdom is also joining the talks, which, according to available information, is holding discussions with European partners about potentially releasing additional strategic reserves, including diesel. The British government is considering this step in case the market situation deteriorates further. BBC News ↗
Friday's meeting is expected to provide a clearer picture of the options for using emergency reserves and of the further course of action for European countries. Decisions will depend on the development of fuel prices and on whether the United States follows through on its threats against diesel supplies.
