The Brussels Summit (Belgium) ends better than it opened, Thursday, October 20. “In any case, this is the message that European leaders wanted to convey: they are united and want to work together on this energy crisis”reports journalist Julien Gasparuttolive from Brussels, Friday 21 October.

“The 27 have agreed on a roadmap to put in place measures in the coming weeks to lower energy prices, for example group purchases between member states to better negotiate prices”explains Julian Gasparutto.
