☆ EU countries seek way out of impasse over gas price caps
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Kate Abnett | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

With gas prices almost 90% higher than a year ago, most EU countries say they want a gas price cap, but disagree on its design. Those discussions "went in all directions", one EU diplomat said - referring to the numerous options being floated, including a price cap on all gas, pipeline gas, or just gas used to produce electricity. Another EU diplomat said no "unified signal" had come out of the leaders' talks. The idea has gained support among other countries, although some worry it could raise EU gas demand, since Spain's gas use increased under the measure. EU countries have already rushed through emergency energy windfall profit levies, gas storage filling obligations, and electricity demand curbs to address the surge in energy prices driven by Russia slashing gas supplies since it invaded Ukraine.

EU energy ministers meeting in Prague will attempt to provide clearer instructions on what the European Commission should propose as the bloc's next emergency energy measure. With gas prices almost 90% higher than a year ago, most EU countries say they want a gas price cap, but disagree on its design. Those discussions "went in all directions", one EU diplomat said - referring to the numerous options being floated, including a price cap on all gas, pipeline gas, or just gas used to produce electricity. Some countries, including Germany, Europe's biggest gas consumer, oppose a broad gas price cap, fearing it would leave Europe struggling to attract supplies from price-competitive global markets this winter. Norway's energy minister Terje Aasland, who joined Wednesday's meeting along with other European non-EU members, said his country "doesn't recommend" a gas price cap.

☆ Catalonia seeks Spain's agreement for new independence referendum
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Joan Faus | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Spain's Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has favoured dialogue with Catalonia to rebuild relations after a chaotic unilateral bid for independence in 2017 plunged Spain into its worst political crisis in years. It remains, however, staunchly opposed to independence and has hitherto ruled out a legal referendum. A similar proposal by Catalonia in 2012 was firmly rejected by the then conservative government in Madrid. The wealthy northeastern region held a referendum five years later despite a ban by the courts, and issued a short-lived unilateral independence declaration. Catalan government head Pere Aragones told the regional parliament that for another referendum, Catalonia needed Madrid's buy-in.

Cel mai recent interviu oferit de Mohamed Salah a părut puţin ciudat. Egipteanul câştigă puţin peste 12 milioane de euro, în condiţiile în care alte staruri din Premier League au salarii mult mai mari. De Gea câştigă 23 de milioane pe an, Kevin de Bruyne are 19 milioane pe an, în timp ce Sterling sau Pogba au câte 17 milioane de euro. Dacă Liverpool nu va reuşi să-l convingă pe Salah, ”cormoranii” vor apela la varianta propusă de Klopp. Transferul acestuia s-ar putea ridica la aproape 100 de milioane de euro.
