EU urges emergency measures against soaring energy prices

Turkey is taking action against rising energy prices with an urgent call for emergency measures.

The EU Commission has been called upon to prepare actions in response to the increasing costs of fuels and electricity, according to a joint statement by Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša. The government emphasized that while they are not asking Brussels for an immediate budget increase or direct aid like during previous crises due to existing mechanisms being exhausted, there is urgent need for EU intervention.

EU leaders in the European Commission have called on Member States and relevant institutions to take action against rising energy prices. The statement emphasized that while no specific measures were announced at this time due to ongoing negotiations with major oil producers, there is a clear need for coordinated response.

The EU has prepared an urgent package of emergency actions in the face of soaring fuel and electricity costs following warnings from Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu. The measures include temporary price caps on fuels like petrol at 180 TL/liter, a ban on exports to prevent market disruption within Turkey.
