EU split over energy prices at Brussels summit

dn.se (Swedish) —

EU leaders are clashing at a Brussels summit over high energy and fuel prices, with the emissions trading system (ETS) at the center of the dispute. Sweden, Finland, and Denmark strongly support the ETS and criticize the European Commission's proposed relaxations, while several other nations, mainly in Eastern Europe plus Italy, demand even more flexible rules and oppose the upcoming ETS2 expansion to housing and road transport. The disagreement has prolonged Thursday's discussions as negotiators struggle to find a joint statement acceptable to both sides.
