Dombrovskis, 'extra profits are the responsibility of the States, by the EU working group'

"From the Commission's point of view, we believe that Member States are best placed to take measures on the taxation of extra profits of energy companies." The European Commissioner for Economy Valdis Dombrovskis said this, responding to a question on the possible presentation of a European legislative proposal and the related timing.

“We actually had a discussion,” he explained. “At the same time, we agreed to set up a working group to address this issue, share best practices and, in a way, help and assist member states in this work.”
