01:00The protests against budget cuts in education started last week
01:04And the Spanish Parliament will vote on two decrees today
01:08that the minority government under Pedro Sanchez approved earlier this week
01:12to tackle the housing crisis and protect tenants
01:15Soaring rents, gentrification and the shortage of affordable housing
01:20have fueled social and political unrest for weeks
01:24Welcome to the program, I'm Stefan Grobe
01:27The EU's energy chief has warned that volatility in the energy market is here to stay
01:33And prices could get even worse
01:36Dan Jorgensen is urging European governments to use existing flexibility
01:41to ease the pain at the pump for millions of Europeans
01:44That comes as the Trump administration presses EU countries
01:48to release millions of barrels from their emergency oil stocks
01:53Maria Tadeo, our chief editor, spoke to the energy commissioner in Brussels
01:57in an exclusive interview
01:59The situation is quite serious
02:02The prices are already quite high
02:05and it's felt by our citizens and by our companies
02:09Unfortunately, I also have to say
02:11that it is going to become probably even worse during the winter
02:16because we do not see any immediate solutions to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz
02:24And even when it opens, it'll take some time for that to have the effects that we want on the
02:29market
02:30So unfortunately, we will see a pressure on fuels
02:34So both oil and gas and diesel and jet fuels during the winter
02:39What measures are you looking at and how quickly can they be implemented?
02:43So fortunately, there are things that can be done also on the short term
02:47Most of these things need to be adopted by the member states in the member states
02:52That is, for instance, as we recommend, lowering the tax on electricity
02:57This will lower the costs of living for normal citizens
03:01and it will also help the transitioning away from fossils into a more electricity-driven economy
03:08So this is just one of the examples that can be done
03:10So as it stands, you do not see a big intervention coming from Brussels
03:15Many things can be done from Brussels and via collective decisions in the European Union
03:21and we have done so
03:22For instance, a grid package and electrification plan
03:25But most of those things are more structural changes
03:28They are very, very necessary
03:30But the things that will work tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
03:33that needs to obviously be something that's done nationally
03:36And we have then provided the way for these decisions in Europe
03:40by setting up schemes so that you can give subsidies
03:42by setting up schemes so that, for instance, you can have social leasing of electric vehicles
03:48instead of combustion engine cars
03:49We have a whole catalogue of things that's been provided as possibilities for member states
03:54that they can use
03:55You sent a letter in which you focused on two things to European ministers
03:59the storage levels and also asking for measures for as long as possible
04:03to reduce some of the demand for both gas and oil
04:06Is that being answered?
04:08And will you at some point have to make that compulsory force a reduction in demand of energy?
04:13Yes, I also had a meeting with ministers this week
04:18And it's very clear that we are all very well aware that this is a crisis
04:23and things need to be done
04:24Now, it is a little bit different from country to country
04:27what member states choose to do
04:29But clearly, demand reduction is one of the most important things that you can do
04:34And even if these measures are mandatory or are not mandatory at this point
04:38would you consider to make them compulsory?
04:41If we see this escalation in prices, would you make them an obligation?
04:46There's no one-size-fits-all solution here
04:48There's not one silver bullet
04:50Had there been, we probably wouldn't have used it
04:52There's not
04:52But there's a lot of things that you can do
04:55And we have put forward both a catalogue of things that can be done already tomorrow
04:59but also new ideas that hopefully we will get the member states to support
05:04on how to electrify our economies faster
05:08on how to make this shift from fossil into renewable energy much faster
05:14on how to implement rules on energy efficiency much faster
05:17because this will also mean that you use less of what it is that we are lacking right now
05:23And when it comes to the storage, there are clear goals that have been set out
05:26in terms of the heating season and ahead of winter
05:28The member states, however, they complain that there are two sources of tension
05:33One is hitting the targets
05:34But also if you go to the market now, it comes with an additional bill
05:37In your view right now, what is the priority?
05:43What we've done is we've coordinated the filling up of our storage facilities of gas all year
05:49to make sure that the bills do not become too high for member states
05:54But it is, of course, expensive when the gas prices are high
05:58And we need to strike a balance
06:00I do think that what we've done by loosening the rules
06:03so that you don't have to fill the storage as much as you used to
06:06will alleviate some of this tension
06:08But it is important for us to have these storages
06:11because, as I said, situations can become much worse
06:15So you make the targets flexible, but you don't scrap them?
06:18No, we certainly don't scrap the targets
06:21It's very important for our security of supply in Europe
06:24and for our security overall
06:25that we do have these targets
06:29Do you see any scenario, the most stressed out scenario
06:33heading into the winter in which the European Union faces shortages of energy
06:37and that means lights out?
06:39So fortunately, we are not looking into a security of supply crisis
06:43That would be extremely worrisome, of course
06:47But I would like to warn that even though we don't lack fuel
06:52it'll be there, we don't lack the gas
06:53Not to neglect the size of the problem
06:55but because for the citizens or the companies that cannot afford it
06:59it'll feel the same way
07:00So if you cannot afford to adequately heat your home
07:03it doesn't really matter that you could actually buy it out there on the market
07:06if you cannot afford it
07:07So we do need to take this extremely serious
07:09The energy market is reacting positively to reports
07:12that the U.S. is telling allies
07:14and forcing allies to release their diesel stocks
07:18Is this going to happen and is the U.S. telling you
07:20release it and release it quickly? Will you do it?
07:23So we are discussing with all members of the International Energy Agency
07:27not only the U.S. on when is the right time to release
07:30because this is one of the opportunities that we have
07:33We've used it before
07:34and it is likely that we will use it again
07:36but this is something that we discuss, of course, in the IA
07:39You are saying we're not doing this as a result of pressure from the U.S.
07:43But if we do it and you just said it is a possibility
07:46it's in coordination with the International Energy Agency
07:48It is, of course, a decision of each member state
07:52do they want to do this or not
07:54We try and coordinate via the EU, of course, our positions in the IA
07:58and we do this with member states
08:02and also other members of the IA
08:04that are not a member of the European Union
08:05and this is something that is being discussed as we speak
08:12EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen
08:14speaking to Maria Tadeo
08:16For more on the latest price increase
08:19let's bring in Osama Rizvi
08:20Global Market and Product Strategist at Primary Vision
08:24who joins me from Lahore, Pakistan
08:26Good morning and good to see you
08:29Good morning to you as well, Stephen
08:31So, energy prices in Europe are rising again
08:35What is driving this latest increase
08:37and how concerned should consumers and businesses be?
08:41Well, as we spoke last time
08:43I think this is just another continuation of the recent events
08:47If you look at the data points, Stephen
08:49there are some positives coming out
08:51because the recent figures show that
08:53flows through straight-off Hormuz have recovered a little bit
08:56They've recovered to 80% in some cases to their pre-war levels
09:00But this will take some time
09:02if the benefit persists
09:04for that benefit to trickle down to the consumers
09:06So, my analysis regarding the consumers
09:08suffering economically for the next few months
09:12still stands true, unfortunately
09:14And recently we have seen some refresh strikes as well
09:17Russia, Ukraine especially
09:19and, you know, refining sites
09:20So, refining is what matters
09:22because the products, diesel and other things
09:24that is what we consumers consume
09:26It is not the crude oil that we're consuming
09:28So, this needs to be looked very closely
09:30We just heard from EU Energy Commissioner Jorgensen
09:34who was sort of lukewarm on President Trump's idea
09:37to ask European countries to release
09:39some of their diesel reserves
09:41as he mulls a ban on diesel exports
09:45Would releasing diesel reserves
09:47have the desired effect on the markets?
09:50Well, this is very interesting
09:51I think of many consequences
09:53what the recent war has given, you know, to the world
09:57is a sudden and painful realization of energy security
10:00and it's still dependent upon the fossil fuels
10:03So, European reserves, 300 million barrels
10:05represents around
10:06even if all of them are released
10:08it will only cover around 10 to 11 days
10:10of the world's diesel demand
10:12And the European countries also have to have
10:14around 90 days of diesel
10:16and other reserves at their home
10:19and Trump's demand
10:21which amounts to around 670,000 barrels per day
10:24it already talks about
10:26around 40% of the diesel reserves
10:28being depleted
10:29So, I would not be very surprised
10:31at the European Energy Commissioner's remarks
10:33because we are living in a world
10:35where each country, each man
10:37is for itself, right?
10:39This is the era of energy security
10:41and I would not think
10:42that this is going to have
10:43a very significant impact
10:45on the global diesel prices
10:46Interesting
10:48How much of the current price pressure
10:50is coming from global oil and gas markets
10:53and how much is specific to Europe?
10:56Well, I think two main hubs
10:59So, 20% of the refining capacity
11:01in Gulf is off
11:03and around 1.2 million
11:05to 1.5 million barrels
11:07of exports are down
11:08when we consider Russia and Gulf
11:10So, these are the two main hubs
11:11that from where the pressure
11:13is originating from
11:14Europe and Asian markets
11:16on the other hand
11:16are on the receiving end
11:17When you look at Europe as well
11:19you know, the policy lacunas
11:21or policy anomalies
11:22we have seen that
11:23in the past few years
11:24from 2009 until now
11:2630 refineries have already
11:27been closed or converted
11:28So, now, you know
11:30this is giving a wake-up call
11:31that maybe we need to have
11:33the approach of energy basket in place
11:35where fossil fuels
11:36and renewables coexist
11:37and we stop, you know
11:39pitching them against each other
11:40or demonizing any form of energy
11:43So, this is what's going on
11:46Europe has spent the past few years
11:48trying to reduce its dependence
11:49on Russian energy
11:51and are we now seeing
11:52the costs of that strategy
11:54sort of feeding back
11:55into consumer prices?
11:58Definitely
11:59and I think it's very difficult
12:01these days
12:01actually
12:02given the integration
12:04of global economy
12:05that you can really
12:06just wean yourself off
12:07of anything
12:08Of course, Europe has increased
12:10its gas exports
12:11from Norway
12:12Norway provides a lot of gas
12:13to Europe
12:13and then LNG from US
12:16US has become the largest
12:17provider for LNG
12:18for Europe
12:19but each of these countries
12:20have their own limitations
12:21as well
12:22So, in the time of crisis
12:23you know
12:24you need to look at China
12:25China as a principle
12:27do not buy anything
12:29more than 15 to 20%
12:31when it comes to their energy
12:32China is now considering
12:33Brazil as their export partner
12:35the Canadian seaborne oil exports
12:38to China
12:40have increased
12:40more than 200%
12:42year on year basis
12:43So, they're not just
12:44relying on Iran
12:45So, we need to
12:46I think
12:47take a page
12:48out of their playbook
12:49and diversify
12:50our energy supplies
12:52Very briefly
12:53Osama
12:54any advice
12:55to consumers?
12:57Just
12:57don't spend
12:58any extra
12:59and save
13:00as much money
13:01as you can
13:01and also buy gold
13:02Great
13:03Osama Rizvi
13:04thanks for breaking
13:05it all down for us
13:06Energy is one problem
13:09in Europe these days
13:10Finding and keeping
13:11a place to live
13:12is another
13:13In Spain
13:14the housing crisis
13:15is becoming
13:15a major political test
13:17for Prime Minister
13:18Pedro Sanchez
13:19and the pressure
13:20is mounting
13:20both inside Parliament
13:22and on the streets
13:23Congress is set
13:24to vote
13:25on two government-backed
13:26measures
13:26aimed at tackling
13:28soaring rents
13:29and protecting tenants
13:30but Sanchez's coalition
13:32needs support
13:32from parties
13:33on opposite ends
13:34of the political spectrum
13:36which at this point
13:37does not look likely
13:38and the rejection
13:40could trigger
13:40unpredictable
13:41political consequences
13:42As lawmakers
13:44prepare for today's votes
13:45protests across the country
13:47demand even stronger action
13:49Javier Iniguez
13:50in Madrid
13:51has more
13:52The countdown begins
13:53for what is increasingly
13:54becoming one of the
13:55most consequential votes
13:56for Pedro Sanchez's
13:57second term
13:58in the Spanish government
13:59and as you can see
14:00the pressure on the
14:00Spanish streets
14:01like at the protest camp
14:02and Madrid's Puerta del Sol
14:03when we find ourselves
14:04it's not backing down
14:06The Congress is voting
14:07this Friday on two laws
14:08to curb the housing crisis
14:09The Socialist in government
14:10need a majority
14:11that includes both
14:12the right-wing
14:13Catalan Pro-Independence Party
14:14Junes
14:15and the far-left Podemos
14:16The latter has already announced
14:17it will support both laws
14:19in Congress
14:19This unfolding of the laws
14:21is widely seen
14:21as a political maneuver
14:22to at least
14:23get the first one approved
14:24This one has been negotiated
14:25alongside the Catalan Party
14:27in grants more
14:28protection of exhibitions
14:29an increase of taxing
14:30for tourist apartments
14:31and more guarantees
14:32for tenants
14:32but it also gives a tax bonus
14:34for renters
14:34that has been widely criticized
14:36by the left
14:36The passing of the second law
14:38will be more complex
14:38It only legislates on rental contracts
14:40and it would force landlords
14:41to compensate tenants
14:42with a minimum equivalent
14:43of two months rent
14:44if the lease is not renewed
14:45unless one of the parties
14:46gives previous notice
14:47among other exceptions
14:48Nevertheless, it is unlikely
14:50that Junes will grant support
14:51to the second one
14:52and even express discontent
14:53with the one they negotiated
14:54The Tenants Union
14:55leading the protest
14:56has already confirmed
14:57that although they back the laws
14:58that the government
14:58is trying to pass this Friday
15:00the mobilization will continue
15:01They have called for a protest
15:03in front of every town hall
15:04on Spain this Saturday
15:05and some already talk
15:06of a general strike
15:07for what service
15:08consider the current main problem
15:10for the Spanish citizens
15:14A very excited
15:15Javier Iniguez
15:16reporting from Madrid
15:17Thank you very much
15:19Romania is on the front line
15:21of Europe's security challenge
15:23Russian drone attacks
15:24on Ukraine
15:25are spilling into
15:26Romanian airspace
15:27and along the Black Sea
15:28while Bucharest is warning
15:30of a broader campaign
15:31of cyber attacks
15:32sabotage
15:33and other forms
15:34of hybrid warfare
15:35Romania is calling
15:36for stronger NATO deterrence
15:38on the eastern flank
15:39and closer cooperation
15:41among European allies
15:42So how serious
15:44is the Russian threat
15:45especially the one
15:46posed by drone attacks?
15:48Earlier I put this question
15:49to Romanian Foreign Minister
15:51Oana Silvia Toyu
15:52It's definitely an increase
15:55in the security risks
15:57We have seen this year
15:59for example
16:00a threefold increase
16:01compared with previous years
16:02It's though the spillover effect
16:05of an increased number
16:06of attacks
16:06that Russia has
16:08in targeting Ukrainian
16:09infrastructure
16:10at our border
16:11the ports
16:13crossing points
16:14at the border
16:15and so on
16:17It's Russia's strategy
16:18to try to create
16:19chalk points
16:20on Ukraine's economy
16:22and that is why
16:23for example
16:23something that we've done
16:25this week in New York
16:26and what we aim to build
16:28is again
16:29something similar
16:30with the solidarity lanes
16:31we have had
16:31the Black Sea
16:32a ceasefire
16:33a moratorium
16:34that would enable us
16:36especially through
16:37the port of Constanza
16:38to support the proper
16:40commercial lanes
16:41in the Black Sea
16:41together with
16:42Turkey
16:42Bulgaria
16:43Ukraine of course
16:44now you have called
16:45for a stronger protection
16:47of NATO's eastern flank
16:49what exactly is it
16:51that you want
16:51from European allies
16:53is it air defense
16:54is it more troops
16:56well it's not just
16:58what we want
16:58or what I want
16:59it's rather what
17:00we all collectively need
17:01we're talking with partners
17:02from United States
17:03in their review process
17:05of their European posture
17:08to make sure
17:09together when we look
17:10at the eastern flank
17:11when we look at the Black Sea
17:12when we look at Romania's capabilities
17:16we ensure the fact
17:18that together
17:18we need a stronger deterrence
17:20and defense
17:20not just for our border
17:22it's also
17:22when we protect our border
17:24it's also the Schengen border
17:26NATO
17:27the European Union's border
17:28how concerned
17:30minister
17:30are you
17:31about
17:32Russian
17:33hybrid
17:34warfare
17:35the sabotage
17:36the disinformation
17:37the cyber attacks
17:41against
17:42Romania
17:42and other EU countries
17:44the cyber
17:46hybrid
17:47interferences
17:48of Russia
17:48are actually
17:49their most assertive part
17:51directed to countries
17:52that are members
17:53of the European Union
17:54be it cyber attacks
17:56and we have proposed
17:57for the first time
17:58listing of some
18:00individuals
18:01that
18:02we have analyzed
18:03to be part
18:04of the cyber attacks
18:05that have targeted
18:07Romania
18:07I've spoken with a lot
18:09of my counterparts
18:11in terms of
18:12the hybrid interferences
18:14they see
18:14with specific attacks
18:15on ammunition
18:17and military equipment
18:19factories
18:20or
18:20there's a lot of concern
18:22on our capacity
18:23to protect
18:24from hybrid attacks
