EU Meets To Try To Break Gas Price Cap Impasse

European Union energy ministers are meeting in Brussels on Tuesday to try to agree a bloc-wide cap on gas prices after months of deadlock over whether the measure can ease Europe's energy crisis.

After weeks of infighting between countries, the European Commission proposed a price cap last month - the latest EU response to a crisis caused by Russia cutting gas deliveries to Europe this year, leading to energy price spikes.

"European citizens are in agony, European businesses are closing and Europe has been needlessly debating," Greek Energy Minister Konstantinos Skrekas said on Tuesday, calling for a swift deal on the cap.
