EU Commission wants common shutdown criteria in case of petrol emergency

The Commission only mentions the case at the very end. In a 14-page internal document published yesterday by Contexte, the commission first lists all the steps it intends to take to avert an emergency in the energy supply. Only then does it describe the preparations to be made in the event of a large-scale outage. It asks for leniency, for example, if one of the member states has not taken precautions to shut down large consumers. Less affected countries should also show solidarity if the country in need has not done its homework for a shortage situation.
