La Commission européenne présente le plan AccelerateEU contre la pénurie de kérosène

La Commission européenne a dévoilé mercredi 22 avril son plan d’urgence AccelerateEU pour atténuer les effets de la crise énergétique liée à la guerre en Iran. Ce programme vise à repousser le risque de pénurie de kérosène suite au blocus du détroit d’Ormuz. Il s’adresse aux États membres et à l’industrie européenne sous forme de recommandations et mesures.

La guerre en Iran, déclenchée le 28 février, et le blocus du détroit d’Ormuz ont provoqué une flambée des prix du gaz et du pétrole dans l’Union européenne. Les Vingt-Sept luttent pour contenir ces hausses, tandis que les stocks de kérosène diminuent et que l’approvisionnement en gaz devient incertain.

Ce mercredi 22 avril, la Commission européenne a présenté AccelerateEU, un ensemble de recommandations et de mesures concrètes ou non pour les États membres et l’industrie. Bruxelles reconnaît son manque de leviers directs pour contrer la crise, qui risque de se muer en crise sociale.

Le plan cherche à amortir les retombées économiques du conflit au Moyen-Orient. Il intervient après deux mois de tensions, avec une crainte persistante de perturbations plus larges.

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.

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.
