-- 欧州委員会は水曜日、中東危機の影響を受けたセクターを支援するため、2026年12月31日まで有効な暫定的な支援枠組みを導入したと発表した。 この枠組みは「中東危機暫定国家支援枠組み(METSAF)」と呼ばれ、農業、漁業、運輸、エネルギー集約型産業を対象としている。 加盟国は、燃料・肥料補助金や小規模な支援制度を通じて、投入コストの上昇を相殺するための支援を提供できると、欧州委員会は付け加えた。 欧州委員会は、電力価格の高騰への対応において各国の柔軟性を高めるため、「クリーン産業ディール」の国家支援枠組みを調整していると述べた。 エネルギー集約型産業は、電力コストに対する支援比率が50%から最大70%に引き上げられ、より多くの支援を受けられるようになると、欧州委員会は説明した。 欧州委員会によると、この支援は、追加的な脱炭素化への取り組みを必要とせずに、企業の電力消費量の最大50%をカバーすることができる。 欧州委員会は、企業はこの支援を排出量取引制度(ETS)のガイドラインに基づく支援と併用でき、その上限は支援額の半分までとするとした。 各国政府は枠組みに基づく措置を通知する必要があるが、欧州委員会は対象となる支援を承認するために迅速な手続きを用いると付け加えた。 欧州委員会はまた、危機が進展するにつれて、ガス火力発電への補助金など、電気料金の引き下げに役立つ対象を絞った措置についても検討すると述べた。
