The European Union extended several measures that should ensure the stability of energy prices and the supply of consumers. The European Commission says that the decision was made even if the member states have stored enough natural gas to avoid problems over the winter. The first measure refers to energy solidarity between EU countries, the second aims to shorten the deadlines for the approval of renewable projects, and the third imposes a temporary mechanism to correct possible high gas prices. The Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, said that the measures are taken preventively and that the market is currently stable.
