Dutch Prime MInister Mark Rutte said
on arrival at the EU summit Monday that "I and Mario Draghi are
great friends and we have always resolved our differences" but
Italy's proposal to introduce a price cap on gas "will lead to
some debate" among EU leaders.
He said this debate would potentially involve Draghi and German
Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
"The question is what we mean by price cap," Rutte remarked,
saying that "if for price cap we mean on state subsidies to
lower bills, then we would need a lot of money from the national
budgets of Italy and the Netherlands".
