PM Mitsotakis welcomes EC's energy measures

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis welcomed the European Commission's proposals to tackle the energy crisis, in social media on Tuesday.

Tweeting in English, he wrote: "I welcome the comprehensive package proposed by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, and especially the inclusion of two proposals Greece has long called for: a price correction mechanism at Title Transfer Facilities (TTF) and circuit breakers in energy derivative markets."

In a following tweet, the premier added that "the upcoming European Council is an opportunity to re-establish control over our energy markets by placing a limit on prices and reducing extreme volatility. This can be a decisive step in our effort to lower energy prices for European citizens and businesses."
