The issue has been a hot potato for a long time.
Last week, they got almost all the way there, and on Monday, the EU's energy ministers were able to agree on the issue of gas price caps.
- Today we have to end this.
We offer a solution that should satisfy both those who want a roof and those who are concerned about it, Czech Industry Minister Jozef Síkela said on his way into Monday's meeting.
According to Busch, the price ceiling for natural gas will be just over SEK 1,800 per MWh + SEK 350.
During August, gas prices were around SEK 3,400 per MWh.
- I want to emphasize that this is a way to avoid the price peaks, but that the long-term solution for Sweden and the EU is to become independent of fossil power sources and instead build a robust energy system, says the Minister of Economic Affairs to SVT.
"A joke"
There have been many discussions as the issue has stirred up emotions among several EU countries.
- It is an issue where there has been a conflict between, on the one hand, the countries that are worried that a price cap will stop gas being sold to Europe or that it could mean a breach of contract.
There are countries that are afraid of energy security.
On the other hand, there are countries that think that the high energy prices mean competitive disadvantages.
There is even talk of a "de-industrialisation of Europe", says SVT's correspondent David Boati.
Germany is seen in the former category, among others.
In the latter countries such as Belgium and Italy.
