I en situation med skyhøje energipriser støttede Europa-Parlamentet tiltag, der skal beskytte europæiske forbrugere og virksomheder mod udgifterne til el- og gasregninger. MEP'erne bifaldt Kommissionens forslag om at reducere energiefterspørgslen og sænke prisen på elektricitet og samtidig omfordele energisektorens overskudsindtægter til kunderne. De opfordrede til at gøre mere for at beskytte de mest sårbare og SMV'er mod de stigende priser på energi.

Energipriser: MEP'er støtter hjælp til europæiske forbrugere og virksomheder

As Europeans face skyrocketing energy bills,

for the EU to shoulder the burden of the cost.

MEPs welcomed Commission proposals to reduce bills

by redistributing excessive profits made by

energy companies but said it must go further.

for the most vulnerable consumers and businesses.

We cannot ask people to live even more frugally,

without letting the companies that benefit

Members want EU countries to make sure Europeans

are not faced with evictions and that their basic needs,

like affordable food, heating and transport, are met.

These measures should be part of a longer-term strategy

Other measures to face the energy crisis include

making buildings energy-efficient across the EU.

Parliament also condemned Moscow's weaponisation

of energy supplies and reaffirmed its support for Ukraine
