"It is impossible to say in advance how the individual states will react to the latest proposal put forward by the Czech Presidency, but from what I know and what I have been able to observe over the past few days, I think some further meetings will be needed."
"It became clear that the mechanism would not be triggered for the Czech Presidency. But it proposed a reduction in the overall gas price at which it would be traded. Then there was a suggestion that, for example, for five days instead of ten days, a safety brake would be activated in case the price was too high."
