Briefings
Portuguese Prime Minister Luís Montenegro criticized the European Union's handling of oil price formation mechanisms, arguing that the current system causes global price volatility despite the EU's lack of oil production. He emphasized that the crisis caused by the war in Iran and regional conflicts affects all nations, including producers, and called for coordinated European responses to mitigate the impact on citizens. The article was published on October 7, 2026, during a G7 summit where the EU released 100 million barrels of crude and gas.
Key points
- Luís Montenegro stated that the EU's approach to oil price formation mechanisms is problematic because a disturbance in one region affects global prices, even though the EU is not a major oil producer.
- The Prime Minister criticized the EU for failing to coordinate responses to the energy crisis caused by the war in Iran and regional conflicts, which he described as a collective masochism harming all nations.
