It's not good to take your car. Not because of traffic jams, but because of gasoline prices which have never been so high in Europe. In a geopolitical context that remains as tense as ever – in the Middle East and Ukraine – the cost of a liter of gasoline is breaking records, just like that of diesel.

In this crisis, the European Commission is letting each Member State provide its own response to soaring prices at the pump: lower taxes in Spain and Germany, targeted aid in France and Portugal, etc.

Et au sein de l'Union européenne (UE), six États membres demandent de mettre à l'ordre du jour une taxe européenne sur les superprofits des compagnies pétrolières. Un exemple : le groupe français Total Energies a réalisé un résultat net de onze milliards d'euros sur le premier semestre 2026, une hausse de 70 % par rapport à l'an dernier.

Furthermore, Brussels is preparing to postpone the environmental obligations of energy importers who had to declare their methane emissions.
