Energy prices: extraordinary meeting of European ministers

France pushes to reform the European market Energy, and especially for avoid that electricity prices are set on those of the gas, because that’s what makes the prices soar. Monday, October 25, nine States members, including Germany, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries wrote a letter to reject this reform wanted by Paris. What set the tone for the meeting, which will start Tuesday in Luxembourg, comments Tuesday morning Julien Gasparutto, the correspondent of France Télévisions in Brussels (Belgium).

France minimizes by noting that the positions of these States were already known. However, Europe is also divided on nuclear. It will be difficult to find a compromise on this energy issue. The 27 chefs state and government have given themselves until the end of December and the last European summit of the year to move forward on this issue.
