How to make sure vitality safety for Europeans

Given the sharp increase in petrol and diesel prices, eight Members of the European Parliament representing the political groups debated possible measures to boost the EU’s energy security while keeping markets stable and affordable.

The US and Israeli bombings of Iran, and Tehran’s attacks on shipping that is crossing the Strait of Hormuz and on energy infrastructure in the Gulf, highlight how vulnerable international energy markets are.

The debate took place on 25/03/2026 in the European Parliament in Brussels. You can watch it in full in our Multimedia Centre:
