Jørgensen, speaking on Euronews, urged European countries to lower electricity taxes in response to rising energy prices due to the Middle East conflict. He emphasized the need for tax cuts to help industries compete and support the green transition. While the EU is not in a state of emergency like in 2022, rising prices are a concern for consumers and industries. Jørgensen highlighted the importance of moving away from fossil fuels and increasing renewable energy capacity, which has already saved significant costs. He firmly stated that Europe will not return to Russian energy supplies. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
