Faced with the constant increase in energy prices, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said on Saturday that he wanted to convene a consultation committee “in the short term”. This Sunday, we learn that the ministers will meet this Wednesday at 3 p.m., according to information from our colleagues at Sudinfo.
“I was one of the first to say in Europe that we cannot continue to fight once morest the rise in prices with tax cuts, but that they must be frozen. This can only be done with other European countries. I see that Germany is also beginning to understand that this is the only possible solution. In the coming weeks, I will be working with other European countries to put this measure in place as quickly as possible. “, declared the Prime Minister to our colleagues from VTM Nieuws.
He continued by returning to the closure of Doel 3 and Tihange 2 which are still on the agenda. “It’s inevitable, but our winter plan takes it 100% into account: it will have no impact on security of supply,” he said. Finally, Alexander De Croo made it known that he wanted to tackle the huge profits made by energy companies. “Everyone has to contribute at a difficult time like now.”
