"The second item on the agenda concerned the economic situation and the economic consequences of the war, namely the increase in prices on the international oil market. Here we had a presentation by the energy minister on the overall situation and discussions - involving the prime minister, the energy minister and the finance minister - on the various scenarios we may face and what the Romanian state's response will be depending on these scenarios," Nicusor Dan said in a press statement at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace following the CSAT meeting.
In this context, the head of state recalled that regarding natural gas, the government has already adopted a price-capping scheme.
