    Greens/EFA call for EU energy efficiency and renewable energy strategy

    The European Commission published proposals on gas storage and gas prices. For the Greens/EFA, the Commission's proposals for mandatory filling of gas storage facilities can only be a short-term, interim solution. They call on the Commission to present an emergency plan for the energy transition. Energy efficiency must come first.
