“I think that’s good progress,” said Scholz in Brussels. In addition, the EU energy ministers are to examine in detail next Tuesday how price fluctuations through speculation on the gas market can be prevented. The aim is “that it is not impossible to get gas through arbitrarily set prices,” the Chancellor continued.
“There are still many doubts” about the question of whether a European upper limit for gas prices is possible, as is the case in Spain and Portugal. Countries like Germany and Denmark spoke out against it.
