EU Commission to get mandate for bloc’s joint gas purchases — Macron

EU leaders have agreed for officials in Brussels to make joint gas purchases for the bloc as it struggles with high prices amid Russia’s war on Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron says.

“What we decided, for the first time, is that the European Commission will have a mandate to do joint procurement, which is exactly what we decided, remember, for vaccines at the time of the COVID crisis,” Macron tells journalists after an EU summit in Brussels.
