EU internal differences of serious energy market intervention measures are facing challenges at the implementation level

On September 14, local time, the European Commission proposed a series of measures for emergency intervention in the market to alleviate the sharp rise in energy prices in the near future. These measures will be implemented from two aspects of demand and supply, and are considered unprecedented market intervention policies since the establishment of the EU.

Regarding these emergency intervention measures for the EU's high energy prices, the analysis believes that due to the serious internal differences within the EU, these measures are facing challenges at the implementation level.

Since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis, affected by the EU's anti -baying effect on Russia's sanctions, European energy supply is tight, and natural gas and power prices have soared. In addition, extreme weather this summer has led to a decline in hydropower power generation, and the maintenance and shutdown of some old power plants, the EU power generation has been low in the past few months, further exacerbating the tight energy supply and high prices, which has caused consumers and industry to cause industry and industry The huge burden suppressed the European economic recovery.

It is worth noting that the proposal to set the upper limit of the price of natural gas before, due to the large controversy, did not include within the EU's emergency intervention measures.

Earlier, the European Commission proposed that only the upper limit of Russia's natural gas price settings, EU member states had a large difference in this. Some member states are concerned that this measure will further affect Russia's natural gas supply to Europe, and believes that this will not help the price of natural gas that is constantly rising. In addition, the proposal to implement the upper limit of natural gas prices within a larger scale has not received widespread support. Some member states believe that this will lead to more natural gas to other regions, but will increase energy dilemma in Europe and endanger supply safety.

The practice of mandatory energy companies' transfer profits and demanding power consumption and natural gas consumption will be opposed by related companies and whether it will affect economic development. It is still unknown. Therefore, the analysis believes that in the short term, the EU is difficult to get out of the energy dilemma, and the game of all parties within the European Union will continue to take a long time around how to solve the energy problem.
