Von der Leyen proposes EU strategic gas reserves over fears of winter shortage
Summary
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed to EU leaders in Brussels that they consider setting up EU-wide strategic gas reserves, as storage levels are at record lows this year due to high summer prices linked to the war in Iran. The Netherlands has already committed nearly a billion euros to subsidise energy purchases while Germany is considering its own strategic reserves, and a separate Commission proposal on joint energy procurement reportedly failed to win approval from leaders.
