The European Commission will discuss with all the involved parties options to ease the energy market crunch exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said on Friday, including a proposal to cap gas prices.
"The European Commission will discuss with stakeholders, the large oil and electricity companies, distribution companies and others," Draghi told a news conference after a summit of the EU leaders in Brussels.
He said the leaders agreed that any demand by Russia to receive payment in roubles for its gas exports would represent a breach of contract.
