- Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, has called on EU countries to “take a quantum leap” and act more collectively ahead of an EU summit focused on the ongoing energy crisis next week.
- Without explicitly naming Germany’s controversial €200 billion energy shield, the president of the European Council, who chairs summit meetings of EU27 leaders, warned against uncoordinated moves at the national level to support households and businesses in the face of the crisis.
- Michel’s call for more European unity comes ahead of an EU summit on 20-21 October where leaders will discuss the EU’s response to the crisis.
