La Comisión Europea presenta el plan AccelerateEU contra la escasez de queroseno

La Comisión Europea presentó el miércoles 22 de abril su plan de emergencia AccelerateEU para mitigar la crisis energética desencadenada por la guerra en Irán. La iniciativa tiene como objetivo evitar la escasez de queroseno tras el bloqueo del estrecho de Ormuz y ofrece recomendaciones y medidas a los Estados miembros de la UE y a la industria.

La guerra en Irán, iniciada el 28 de febrero, y el bloqueo del estrecho de Ormuz han provocado un aumento de los precios del gas y el petróleo en toda la Unión Europea. Los 27 Estados miembros tienen dificultades para frenar estas subidas, mientras las reservas de queroseno caen y el suministro de gas se vuelve incierto. El miércoles 22 de abril, la Comisión Europea presentó AccelerateEU, un conjunto de recomendaciones y medidas —algunas de ellas concretas— para los Estados miembros y el sector industrial. Bruselas reconoce que sus herramientas directas para hacer frente a la crisis, que podría convertirse en una crisis social, son limitadas. El plan pretende amortiguar las consecuencias económicas del conflicto en Oriente Medio y llega tras dos meses de tensión y en medio del temor constante a nuevas perturbaciones.

As the US-Israel-Iran conflict surpasses its fourth day following initial strikes on February 28, Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz and launched drone attacks on key Saudi and Qatari energy facilities. Growing European involvement and US commitments elsewhere raise concerns over prolonged hostilities harming American interests. De-escalation through negotiations is urgently needed.

Following strikes on military targets and shipping disruptions earlier in March, the Israel-Iran war intensified as both sides hit oil and gas production and export facilities. The attacks raise alarms for global energy markets, prompting the International Energy Agency to urge conservation amid fears of severe price shocks.
