 The European Union leaders are set to debate their response to soaring energy prices, which have exposed familiar rifts over the blocked climate change goals, and divided countries on whether the price crunch runs an overhaul of EU energy market roles. Leaders will discuss a toolbox the European Commission published last week, which outlined the national measures governments can take and said brushes would look into longer term options to address price shocks. The chair of the meeting EU Council President Charles Michel called for a more pan-European approach to the block's energy supply and said members should in a shorter term work towards a convergence of approaches. Most EU countries have already drawn up emergency action plans to shield consumers from the price spike, including energy tax cuts and subsidies for poorer households. And thus the leaders will encourage others to follow suit. We have put forward as a commission a set of measures concerning the energy prices and electricity prices to support consumers. We know that we also will have a look at the way the energy market is functioning as a whole. And in the mid and long term it is very clear that the strategy has to be to invest massively in clean and renewable energy, because this is energy that is reliable because it is produced in Europe and it is the future. As we are small countries, we do our share in in the climate policy, but we also need the G20 countries to raise the ambition and do their share as well. It's our common globe and we have to do this all together and united we are strong. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
