In light of the escalating energy and cost-of-living crisis, what reforms are needed in the electricity market? Can the REPowerEU plan support the phase-out of Russian fossil fuels effectively while also reinforcing the green transition? What will the EU decide next on sanctions against the Kremlin? What will it do to promote European values and protect the rule of law? How will the Commission respond to the outcome of the Conference on the Future of Europe?
