Dear Sir or Madam,
the high energy prices have meanwhile also reached those responsible in the European Union. The EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson expressed concern about the current price development and called it an exceptional situation. Kadri Simson also named the economic upswing and the associated demand for energy as drivers.
Since revenues from CO2 emissions trading increased by almost 11 billion euros across the EU in the first nine months of the year, funds from this could be used to take measures to support households that suffer particularly due to low incomes. With regard to short-term individual measures, however, Brussels referred to the national responsibilities of the EU member states.
The price development on the European market for CO2 emission rights showed a sideways movement in the past trading week, which, however, showed an increase of almost 2% compared to the previous week’s closing price. The mark of 60 euros, which is important in terms of market psychology, could not be maintained, although the price was repeatedly above it.
