The Eurogroup held a meeting in Dublin, Ireland on the 18th. Participants discussed the latest economic situation in the Eurozone and paid attention to the impact of the recent rise in oil and gas prices on the economy, residents and businesses, as well as measures to deal with rising energy prices. Eurogroup Chairman Kyriakos Pierakakis said after the meeting that new changes in the Middle East situation are once again driving up oil and gas prices and have a direct impact on European residents and businesses. He said that Europe must accelerate its energy independence. This is closely related to the European economy, competitiveness and security, and its importance is “more urgent than ever.”
