The European Commission has recommended that Europeans work from home and use private transport less often. These measures are intended to help cope with the energy crisis, which could drag on.
Recommendations of the European Commission
The European Commission has called on EU citizens to work remotely more often and reduce the use of personal transport. These recommendations were voiced by a leading Brussels official.
The EU authorities believe that these steps will help reduce energy consumption and ease pressure on the energy sector. Particular attention is paid to reducing car travel to reduce dependence on imported energy.
Reasons for the calls
The European Commission has warned that the energy crisis in Europe could last longer than expected. Rising energy prices and supply instability remain the main challenges for the region.
Among the main reasons:
- Continued high gas and electricity prices
- Restrictions on energy imports
- The need to reduce energy consumption in the home and transport
Context.
The European Union has repeatedly called on citizens to save energy and move towards more sustainable consumption patterns. Previous measures have included limiting heating temperatures and encouraging the use of public transport.
The energy crisis in the EU has been ongoing since 2022 and is linked to geopolitical and economic factors.
