Poland, Belgium, Italy and Greece are among the states that will draft the proposal, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will draft a proposal and we will present it to the Commission and I hope the Commission takes it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>EU policies are usually proposed by the European Commission, after which EU countries and the European Parliament negotiate and approve the final law.<\/p>\n<p>Moskwa said the proposal would cover wholesale gas prices, and be ready for EU energy ministers to discuss at a meeting on Oct. 11.    <\/p>\n<p>The Commission said on Friday it would work with countries to develop ideas to tame gas prices ahead of a meeting of EU leaders next week, but did not explicitly agree to propose a broad gas price cap.<\/p>\n<p>Brussels has warned that a wholesale price cap on all gas transactions \u2013 both imports and domestic trades \u2013 could require significant financial resources, and come with risks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis would clearly have an effect on prices, but would also effectively mean the suspension of EU\u2019s gas market and create risks to security of supply,\u201d EU energy commissioner Kadri Simson told a news conference after an EU energy summit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo take such a drastic step in a responsible way, a number of preconditions would be non-negotiable,\u201d Simson said, adding that one condition would be a mandatory cut in EU gas demand, to ensure lower prices do not cause a spike in gas use.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Kate Abnett; Editing by Toby Chopra)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/in-absence-of-eu\/attachment\/european-union-flags-flutter-outside-the-eu-commission-headquarters-in-3\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8T10L-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8T10L-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kate Abnett BRUSSELS (Reuters) \u2013 A group of European Union countries will take the unusual step of drafting their own legislative proposal for an EU gas price cap, Poland\u2019s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1666789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1666789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666789\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1666789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1666789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1666789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
