Amman, Sept. 29 (Petra) — European Union Energy Commissioner Dan
Jørgensen said Tuesday that the EU expects energy prices to rise this
winter, but indicated he does not expect supply problems.
According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), Jørgensen said at a meeting
of energy ministers in Dublin, “Under normal circumstances, around 50
million people in Europe are unable to secure adequate heating in
their homes during winter, and this winter the situation is likely to
be worse.”
Jørgensen proposed postponing the application of new rules limiting
methane emissions for one year in an attempt to “ease” pressure on
energy markets.
French President Emmanuel Macron had earlier called on Brussels to
delay the application of this law, and a proposal to postpone its
implementation from 2027 to 2028 will be presented to member states
and the European Parliament.
The law obliges companies importing fuels into Europe to monitor
their methane emissions, a greenhouse gas that causes severe
pollution.
