La Commissione europea presenta il piano AccelerateEU contro la carenza di cherosene

La Commissione europea ha presentato mercoledì 22 aprile il suo piano di emergenza AccelerateEU per mitigare la crisi energetica scatenata dalla guerra in Iran. L'iniziativa mira a prevenire una carenza di cherosene in seguito al blocco dello Stretto di Hormuz. Il piano offre raccomandazioni e misure agli Stati membri dell'UE e al settore industriale.

La guerra in Iran, iniziata il 28 febbraio, e il blocco dello Stretto di Hormuz hanno fatto impennare i prezzi di gas e petrolio in tutta l'Unione europea. I 27 Stati membri stanno lottando per frenare questi aumenti, mentre le scorte di cherosene diminuiscono e le forniture di gas diventano incerte. Mercoledì 22 aprile, la Commissione europea ha introdotto AccelerateEU, un insieme di raccomandazioni e misure, alcune delle quali concrete, destinate agli Stati membri e all'industria. Bruxelles riconosce di avere strumenti diretti limitati per affrontare la crisi, che potrebbe trasformarsi in un'emergenza sociale. Il piano mira ad attutire le ricadute economiche del conflitto in Medio Oriente. Arriva dopo due mesi di tensione e tra i timori diffusi di interruzioni più ampie.

Due to the Iran war's impact on energy prices, the EU Commission has urged member states to lower gas storage filling targets from 90 to 80 percent. EU Commissioner Dan Jørgensen wrote in a letter that this could reduce gas demand and ease price pressures. The EU is better prepared for crises than in 2022.

The European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, proposes reducing electricity taxes, reviewing the carbon emissions market, and avoiding premature nuclear plant closures to lower energy prices amid the Middle East war. These measures address surging oil prices due to the Strait of Hormuz closure, costing 6 billion euros since February 28. The EU meanwhile rejects military involvement in the conflict despite pressure from Donald Trump.

The EU has delayed its proposal for a complete ban on oil imports from Russia. The move comes amid a sudden loss of political support due to the Iran war, even though the draft is already prepared. The regulation was set to apply to all member states, including Hungary and Slovakia.

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.
