Greek Energy and Environment Minister Costas Skrekas warned colleagues who met in Brussels on Monday of rising electricity and gas costs and called for a European response to tackling the impact on households and businesses, Kathimerini reported.
"If market forecasts are confirmed, European citizens will have to pay up to 350 billion euros more due to rising electricity and gas prices. "In the face of this extraordinary situation, we cannot remain indifferent," he said.
"A central European mechanism must therefore be set up to support vulnerable households and small and medium-sized enterprises in the face of the dramatic increase in energy," added Screkas.
