Will the EU put in place a long-term energy strategy? | Inside Story

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Will the EU put in place a long-term energy strategy? | Inside Story” – below is their description.

European energy ministers have failed to agree on a plan to cap Russian gas prices at an emergency meeting in Brussels.

The session aimed to consider how to shield households and businesses from soaring energy bills.

EU energy commissioner Kadri Simson says countries heavily reliant on Russian supplies fear they will be cut off altogether.

President Vladimir Putin had earlier threatened to make Europe ‘freeze’ this winter if a cap is agreed.

So what are the options? And are the measures already taken enough to get the bloc through the winter?
