It is not normal for Eastern Europe to pay much higher energy prices than Western Europe, as it has happened in recent months, and this is why we have asked the European Commission (EC) for a fair treatment and a functional energy union, Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja wrote on Wednesday on Facebook."As I promised on September 12, I officially asked the European Commission, alongside my Greek and Bulgarian counterparts, for fair treatment and a functional energy union. It is neither fair nor normal for Eastern Europe to pay much higher energy prices than Western Europe, as it has repeatedly happened in recent months. There are two causes for this: the lack of interconnections in central Europe (especially Austria and Slovakia), which means that the flow of cheap energy produced in the West practically stops in Austria and Slovakia; and the additional demand for energy from the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, which puts additional pressure on prices in our region. I said it clearly yesterday in Warsaw too: we respect the common European single market obligations, but we demand equal rights too. There can be no development without safe and accessible energy. The well-being of our citizens and the competitiveness of the economy, wages and jobs depend on it. That is why we have tried to keep the prices capped for consumers, putting in all our efforts, but we cannot tolerate the inequities on the European energy market," Burduja wrote on Facebook.According to him, at the joint request of Romania, Greece and Bulgaria, which has already been accepted by the European Commission, "we will present the situation and ask for offset measures at the next meeting of the EU Energy Council, which is due in Luxembourg on October 15", because "the truth must be told, and Romania will not be silent in the face of injustices."
