EU27 weigh new energy measures; six states seek delay of fuel charges to 2030

Greece and five other EU members are pressing the European Commission to postpone new fuel charges until 2030, while the bloc considers additional measures to address high energy prices. The request signals intra-EU friction over the pace of decarbonization versus near-term affordability. The outcome is uncertain, but a delay would ease near-term cost pressures on consumers and industry.
