Euroopan parlamentti tukee toimia, joilla suojataan eurooppalaisia kuluttajia ja yrityksiä kohonneilta sähkön ja kaasun hinnoilta. Europarlamentaarikot toivottivat tervetulleeksi komission ehdotuksen vähentää energian kysyntää ja leikata sähkön hintaa samalla kun energiasektorin ylimääräiset voitot jaetaan uudelleen kuluttajille. He vaativat lisätoimia heikoimmassa asemassa olevien pk-yritysten suojaamiseksi kohonneilta energiahinnoilta.

Energiahinnat: Europarlamentaarikot tukevat eurooppalaisten kuluttajien ja yritysten auttamista

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
