The Brussels think tank Bruegel sees little chance of a new EU plan to reduce gas prices. In the draft of the Clean Industrial Deal, the EU Commission held out the prospect that it or the member states could support projects to export liquefied natural gas in the producing countries – for example, through subsidized loans or the acquisition of rights to liquefy gas at corresponding terminals. Even if the Commission does not name a specific country, the initiative is apparently to be understood as an offer to the USA.
