The European Climate Law remains in place, with its emission reduction targets for 2030.
While we need short-term measures for our energy security, our answer is also to accelerate investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency.

The @EU_Commission is proposing that all Member States act together to reduce gas demand.
Because we face together the economic consequences if we don’t.
And because we must face together the Russian manipulation of our energy sources and the attempt to divide the EU.

RT @vonderleyen: Russia is using gas as a weapon.
We have to address our energy security at EU level.
We learnt from the pandemic that if we act in unity, we can address any crisis.
So let's act together to reduce gas use and provide a safety net for all EU countries. https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1BRJjnZLymjJw

@thierry_bros As a spokesperson I'm also not impressed with leaks. As we always tell the press, we do not confirm or comment on leaked documents. Decisions are taken by the College of Commissioners. And then we explain them to the press and public.
