04:31long supply disruption?

04:32Since 2022, of course, we had debated just a week ago

04:37when the war started whether or not we would see this

04:39$100 a barrel price benchmark and hit on the price mark.

04:44And now it's taken 10 days, but we're finally there.

04:46Obviously, this has major implications psychologically

04:49for the market, but also in terms of the ramifications

04:52for the global economy.

04:55Ultimately, some analysts say that this could be

04:57the worst energy crisis in decades

05:00because of the combination around it.

05:02On the one hand, you have over the weekend

05:04that succession put in place in Iran.

05:07It's the son of the Ayatollah Ali Kavanaugh who will replace him.

05:11The signals that that sends politically,

05:13the heartliners in this regime, remain very much in place

05:16and they guide the policy of Iran.

05:19Remember also, President Trump had been very clear

05:21that he did not consider the son of the late Ayatollah

05:24an appropriate choice.

05:26He said he was a lightweight and also said it would be unacceptable

05:29for the U.S.

05:31Obviously, the scenario that the Americans would like to see

05:33something that looks like Venezuela, the top leader gets taken out

05:37and then obviously what is left changes in alignment with the U.S.

05:42But that is no longer the case.

05:43Or it's no longer the case, I should note, for the time being

05:46because we are seeing that retaliation continue from Iran.

05:49And then secondly, it is really just a question of logistics,

05:53supply and transportation.

05:54When you look at the countries that right now,

05:57when it comes to the retaliation from Iran, are the most hurt,

06:01it's the Gulf countries.

06:02Obviously, we also talk about the Strait of Hormuz.

06:05It's not able to operate normally because of these strikes

06:08that keep taking place with missiles, but also drones,

06:11which are very cheap to fire, but they create chaos on the ground.

06:15So it's really this combination that is propping up energy prices today.

06:19I should just point very quickly, President Trump did comment on this over the weekend.

06:24He is a president that likes to monitor very much the performance of the stock market.

06:29So he likes to see high stock markets and then obviously low energy prices.

06:33Right now, this is a reverse.

06:34Stocks are plummeting because of the uncertainty and energy prices are going up.

06:39The president of the U.S. seems to be willing to tolerate those levels,

06:42saying that this is a small price to pay for global security,

06:45especially if the nuclear threat from Iran is eliminated.

06:49Just as a final breaking news on this point,

06:51because this energy story is important this morning,

06:53the G7 will gather and there's a possibility perhaps

06:56that the G7 countries will agree to release some of the strategic oil reserves

07:01to sort of step in and stabilize this market.

07:04Indeed, G7 countries meeting and also EU emergency talks

07:07are taking place with GCC counterparts.

07:10Fill us in.

07:10Indeed, and that is obviously the Gulf countries speaking.

07:14This is a video conference that will take place today

07:16with the head of the commission, Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa.

07:21This is a sort of two-way communication channel.

07:24Remember, these countries are strategic for the energy story for the EU,

07:28but also defense because there is cooperation

07:31between a number of European countries and the Gulf countries

07:34when it comes to sort of a mutual defense.

07:38And that's why we've seen the likes of France and Italy,

07:40also the UK, saying that they will step in

07:43and help protect strategic assets and also their partners in the region.

07:47Another point that is perhaps closer to home

07:49is the French president, Emmanuel Macron,

07:52who will be headed to Cyprus.

07:53I believe he's probably now on his way there.

07:56The flight was scheduled to take place just a few minutes ago.

07:59He will go there in a show of solidarity.

08:01Remember, last week there was a drone that did hit a base,

08:04a UK base in Cyprus,

08:07and also the Greek prime minister said to visit.

08:10All of this is a show of solidarity.

08:12But beyond solidarity, there's a real question

08:14about the Mediterranean countries

08:15that could be impacted by indiscriminate strikes.

08:19And that is something that the Europeans have said

08:21they will have to help and step in.

08:24And the message also from the commission was clear last week,

08:26saying no stone left unchecked to help these countries

08:31that are in the sort of perimeter

08:32that could be impacted by the war.

08:35Okay. Maria Tadeo, Euronews' EU editor.

08:38Thank you so much for all those details.

08:39And of course, you mentioned the impact

08:41this war is having on Mediterranean countries.

08:43And actually, very shortly here,

08:44we'll be joined by the president of the Eurogroup,

08:47who also happens to be the Greek finance minister.

08:49So do change. Stay tuned for that.

08:51But first, here's an update on that pipeline spat

08:53between Hungary and Ukraine that now includes

08:56a police raid on a Ukrainian convoy

08:58and threats over Europe's oil supply.

09:01Our Jakub Janus has been taking a closer look.

09:05As the old Hollywood rule goes,

09:08attributed to Alfred Hitchcock,

09:10a good thriller starts with an explosion,

09:12followed by a rising tension.

09:14In the crisis between Hungary and Ukraine,

09:17the explosion was a literal pipeline.

09:19And last week, tension reached a breaking point

09:22when the Hungarian anti-terror police

09:24raided a Ukrainian state bank convoy

09:27carrying cash and gold.

09:28And in response, Kiev accused Budapest

09:31of taking its citizens hostage.

09:33But wait a second, how did we actually get here?

09:37Since late January, the Druzhba pipeline has been down.

09:41Kiev blames Russia for the explosion

09:43and refuses to repair the damage,

09:46halting Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia.

09:49Budapest, on the other side,

09:50accuses Kiev of exploiting the disruption

09:52and, in retaliation,

09:55is blocking a critical 90 billion euro EU loan to Ukraine.

09:59But escalation did not stop at financial vetoes.

10:03Orban vowed to break the oil blockade by force,

10:06though he did not explain how.

10:08And Ukraine's president fired back,

10:11suggesting he would give Ukrainian troops

10:14Orban's phone number.

10:15And Hungary condemned the remark as a death threat.

10:19But you see, there is also a bigger picture.

10:22Both leaders are racing against brutal April deadlines.

10:25And if the Ukraine loan is not unblocked by early April,

10:29the country will run out of money,

10:31facing devastating cuts to public services.

10:34Meanwhile, Orban faces divisive elections on the 12th of April.

10:39And opposing Ukraine is his strategy to win.

10:42That leaves the EU rushing to break the veto

10:45and deliver the cash before Ukraine goes broke,

10:48while trying not to look like it's picking a side in Hungary.

10:52But finding that balance is really hard

10:55when this political thriller is building toward its breaking point.

10:59So take a deep breath,

11:01because the final scene is about to begin.

11:10For more on that story, you can visit euronews.com.

11:13But for now, as promised,

11:14coming up, we'll be joined by Kyriakos Perikakis,

11:17the president of the Eurogroup

11:18and the Minister of Economy and Finance of Greece.

11:21As head of the Eurogroup,

11:23he chairs meetings of finance ministers

11:25from the Eurozone countries

11:26and coordinates economic policy across the Eurozone.

11:29Good morning.

11:30Good morning.

11:31Great to have you with us here on Europe Today on Euronews.

11:34Delighted to be joining you.

11:35So look, Europeans are waking up today

11:37with deep concern about the escalating situation,

11:40the rising energy prices.

11:41How vulnerable is the European economy here to these shocks?

11:44First of all, we're being tested.

11:46This is obvious.

11:46And obviously, we're also being quite concerned

11:49about how things are unfolding on the ground.

11:51I think we're meeting the diplomatic challenge.

11:53You mentioned Cyprus before

11:55in the visit of President Macron in Cyprus.

11:57I think it's quite pertinent that we have this testament,

12:00this manifestation of European solidarity

12:02by having forces sent in Cyprus.

12:04And I have to say I'm quite happy

12:06that Greece and the Greek government

12:07led the way by being first.

12:10I would also add that we're also tested economically.

12:12And this is what we're going to be discussing today

12:14at the Eurogroup meeting.

12:16Energy is going to be a core element of our discussion.

12:19The impact of energy prices is significant already,

12:21and we want to see how we're going to meet

12:23that challenge on the ground as well.

12:24And just first, back to that visit in Cyprus today,

12:27the Greek Prime Minister also accompanying

12:28President Emmanuel Macron.

12:30Is the war getting closer to your home?

12:32By definition, I would say that we are concerned.

12:35And this is an area where European solidarity

12:37is absolutely essential to manifest and showcase.

12:40That's why I mentioned and I underlined

12:41that it's quite important that European states,

12:44European member states are collectively showing support

12:46to ensure the security of a member state

12:48of the European Union.

12:49And Greeks are concerned.

12:51They're already getting very concerned

12:52about the cost-of-living crisis,

12:53how this is impacting their pocket.

12:55What will you do to address these concerns?

12:56I would say that we already have a toolkit,

12:58and the toolkit is the 2022 toolkit.

13:00We're not yet there,

13:02but businesses and households are already signaling

13:05that they want to see what type of support

13:07they would receive should the crisis deepen.

13:09I think we have two key words here.

13:11The first one is duration, how long it will last.

13:16The second one is disruption,

13:17what type of crisis will it be?

13:19If you have a disruption of supply chains

13:22and maritime transport, for instance,

13:24at the Strait of Hormuz for a very long period of time,

13:26by definition, the impact is going to be different.

13:29We're looking at the price of natural gas.

13:31We're looking at the price of oil.

13:32But effectively, there are many elements

13:34of a potential disruption that we're also looking at.

13:36The price of fertilizers, air traffic, food security.

13:40There are many elements on the ground

13:42that affect the international economy.

13:43And I mentioned 2022 because the invasion of Russia

13:46and Ukraine provided us with a European toolkit

13:49of how we can manage those crises.

13:51So are we better prepared now?

13:52Of course we're better prepared.

13:54That's why we have this deployment of a toolkit.

13:56But at the same time, we need orchestration

13:58and coordination at the European level.

14:00And this is what the Eurogroup is for.

14:01So we're going to be discussing all of those things,

14:04both today and on many meetings,

14:06even at the level of the leaders,

14:07because we need a concerted European action.

14:09Because the IMF, the International Monetary Fund,

14:11have warned in a report just the other day

14:13that the consequences could be felt earlier than we even think.

14:16The key word here, I think, is uncertainty.

14:19That's why I mentioned duration.

14:20And uncertainty, we saw that with tariffs.

14:22Uncertainty has a much greater impact

14:24than a problematic policy per se.

14:27That's why you need to unleash the full potential

14:29of the European market, of the European Union.

14:31When we're discussing macroeconomic developments

14:34for the previous year,

14:35at the level of the European ministers of finance,

14:38we say that the key word for Europe is resilience.

14:41But, if we're frank, we need to underline and stress

14:44that resilience is not a growth strategy.

14:46We need much more.

14:47And Europe has a huge potential

14:49to unlock its innovation, its dynamism.

14:52We need to remove the barriers that exist

14:54between the member states of the European Union.

14:56And, if we're speaking about energy,

14:58we need a single European energy market,

15:00which we don't have.

15:01That's why energy was put on the agenda.

15:03It's not only about the here and the now,

15:05the crisis that we're having at the Gulf right now.

15:08It's much broader.

15:09It's about interconnections.

15:10It's about regulation.

15:12It's about unlocking the potential

15:13of our European energy market.

15:14We need to do all of those things at once.

15:16A lot to do, indeed, of course.

15:17But, just about the here and now,

15:18are viewers waking up this morning

15:20worrying about inflation, that it could go up again?

15:22That's why I mentioned before

15:23that we're looking very closely

15:25the impact on oil and natural gas

15:27and, obviously, a rise in energy prices

15:30has an adverse impact on inflation.

15:32We saw that in 2022.

15:33I would say that we're not there.

15:362022 was a much deeper crisis.

15:38But, we need to be anticipatory

15:40and we need to be very well prepared.

15:42As you asked before,

15:43we're much better prepared now.

15:45But, we need to be vigilant

15:46and we need to be observing the situation on the ground.

15:48And, what about the European Central Bank?

15:50What role will they be playing here?

15:51Obviously, we believe very firmly

15:53in the independence of the European Central Bank

15:55and they have shown that they have the agility

15:56and the capability to react when it is necessary

15:59and we fully trust them.

16:01And, will that be soon, you think?

16:02I cannot comment on that

16:03because, as I mentioned,

16:04the independence of the Central Bank

16:05is for all Europeans, a sine qua non.

16:08And, are you feeling very worried right now?

16:10I would say that I feel concerned.

16:12I would say that our work, our job,

16:14is to be concerned.

16:15But, at the same time,

16:16our work is to know what we need to do

16:18and when we need to do that.

16:20And, as I mentioned before,

16:21I think that we have this capacity right now,

16:23both at the level of Europe,

16:24both at the level of Brussels

16:25and at the level of the member states.

16:27And, did this war take you by surprise, Minister?

16:30In reality, we have seen

16:32a density of geopolitical events in the recent years

16:34which shouldn't be taking us by surprise at all.

16:37The things we have seen in the last six or seven years

16:40would have never been anticipated

16:43from a 2019 lens,

16:44which is when the government

16:46that I participate at came into office.

16:48But, I think that, at the same time,

16:50our capacity building has changed,

16:52both at the European level

16:53and at the national level.

16:54And, this is why,

16:55even though you cannot fully anticipate

16:57the granularity of certain events,

16:59the mentality of anti-fragility

17:01and of capacity building yourself

17:02is now here.

17:03And, is the EU speaking with one voice,

17:06do you believe, on this war?

17:07I think so.

17:07And, I mentioned Cyprus at the beginning

17:09because that was a testament

17:11of European solidarity

17:12at the diplomatic level.

17:13We need to have more concerted

17:15and more coordinated action

17:17at the economic level as well.

17:18This is our responsibility.

17:20This is why we're here.

17:21And, President Macron's visit to Cyprus today,

17:23is it diplomatic

17:24or is it really strategic for him?

17:26I think it's absolutely strategic.

17:27And, diplomacy is a core element

17:29of that strategy.

17:29All of those things are being,

17:31in a sense, being put together.

17:33Diplomacy, economic policy.

17:35Europe should speak with one voice

17:36on all fronts.

17:37This is what we need to achieve.

17:39We need strategic autonomy.

17:40But, Europe has not been speaking

17:41with one voice on all fronts.

17:42Well, that's the challenge.

17:43That's why we have the Draghi report.

17:44That's why we have the Leto report.

17:45And, this is why the whole idea

17:46is that you need a single market

17:48to begin with

17:49in order to unlock your potential,

17:51even on a sovereignty basis,

17:52not only on an economic basis.

17:53That will be the challenge

17:54of my generation in politics, I think.

17:56And, it's a challenge

17:57that should be met.

17:58We don't have the luxury

17:59of not meeting it.

18:00And, you don't have the luxury

18:01of time, given the escalation

18:02crisis right now.

18:03And, what you're saying

18:04is effectively

18:06an element of the European story

18:07in the past.

18:08We typically integrated crisis,

18:10metabolized crisis,

18:11into a change in policy

18:12when they were manifesting themselves.

18:14We need to become

18:15more anticipatory.

18:16We should at least integrate

18:17perfect, optimal responses

18:19to crisis.

18:20But, at the same time,

18:21we need to learn

18:21how to anticipate them.

18:22We don't have the luxury

18:23of simply reacting anymore.

18:25And, just one final question.

18:26Bulgaria recently joined

18:27the Eurozone.

18:28How is that going?

18:29It's going well.

18:30And, we have a collective experience

18:33of a transition

18:33to the European currency

18:35from all the other stories,

18:37like the Greek story,

18:38for instance,

18:38that took place in the past.

18:40We're supporting

18:40the Bulgarian government.

18:42And, so far,

18:43the situation has been

18:44going quite well.

18:46Okay.

18:46Thank you so much, Minister,
