The recent summer months have been, as we heard from the scientists, the hottest on record, but maybe the coolest for the years to come. Europe is warming at double the global rate, even though we account for only 6% of global emissions. Energy security is a crucial topic for Europe. And let me tell you our story.

Businesses are under high pressure. People struggle to pay their bills. And this could intensify as we head into winter. So, we need to act now. To protect those most in need. And to make sure we come out of this crisis stronger than we entered it. That we address the structural problems. Honourable Members, We have prevailed before. Four years ago, Russia tried to...
