Traduction de «gas price » (Anglais → Français) :

2. Acknowledges that the trend of rising energy prices is likely to continue given that these prices are currently linked – in the case of gas – to per-barrel oil price, and – in the case of electricity – to volatile fuel prices, and are further affected by Europe´s dependency on oil and gas imports, by the impact of the intervening measures, by the insufficient actions to promote energy efficiency, and by the lack of investments needed to maintain and modernise energy systems (including reverse flows and interconnectors) with a view ...[+++]to guaranteeing high levels of security of supply and facilitating the integration of RES; advocates, therefore, the decoupling of the gas pricing mechanism from the oil indexation to more flexible alternatives, while respecting the freedom of commercial exchange;

It is not difficult to figure out the Russia agenda in all this, but I was particularly struck by the idea floated in the press that Gazprom urgently needs to make a deal based on higher gas prices, linked to last year’s oil price high, before those gas prices come down following the oil price fall.

Gas prices were also found to be indexed, although to a lesser extent, to prices of gas traded at hubs, coal prices, electricity prices and general inflation indices.

Given the linkage of gas prices to oil prices and the increasing significance of gas in power production, oil price developments affect the prices of both gas and electricity.

2. Where the measures taken by Member States in relation to the Recommendations referred to in paragraph 1 are inadequate with regard to the long-term security of gas supply, the Commission may, by Decision, in conformity with the procedure laid down in article 9, paragraph 3 require the Member States concerned to take specified measures to ensure that an appropriate minimum share of new gas supply from non-EU countries over the five years following the entry into force of this Directive is based on long-term contracts and that adequate liquid gas supplies are developing and transparent gas price references are available within the Commu ...[+++]nity to underpin stable long-term gas supplies.
