Shortly before the upcoming EU summit, the Commission presented its package of measures against higher energy prices (Europe.Table reported on the proposals yesterday). But member states remain divided on the gas price cap. The idea of a dynamic price cap, the Commission’s response to calls for a general price cap on gas, was followed by mixed reactions. Berlin voiced criticism, directed particularly at Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The proposal for joint gas purchasing, however, met with overall positive response. Manuel Berkel and Till Hoppe summarize the debate’s current status.
