In the fight against high gas prices, the EU Commission is backing a subsidy and demand strategy. Member states and operators are to be obliged to achieve a minimum gas storage level by September 30 of each year. However, in the draft communication on energy prices, the authority also points the way to financial incentives. States are also to double biogas production by 2030.

The EU Commission will present its long-awaited supply chain law on Wednesday – without an import ban on items produced with forced labor. The Chair of the Trade Committee in the European Parliament, Bernd Lange (SPD), is not happy about this. He now expects a separate EU law to ban such imports, which then simply has to be accepted by the Chinese. Lange speaks with Amelie Richter about the impact the supply chain law will have on trade with China.
