In addition, according to Simson, the EC is ready to develop a price ceiling at the European level for natural gas needed to generate electricity.

At the same time, the European Commissioner urged to remember that "the result cannot be an increase in demand for gas."

The Financial Times wrote that US shale oil and gas producers have warned Europe that they will not be able to increase energy production and increase supplies to the European Union.
