Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

A prolonged geopolitical crisis in the Middle East has caused energy and trade disruptions, leading to increased energy costs for the European economy. The Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry estimates the additional energy bill for the EU and Greece after six months stands at around €85 billion.

Labor costs rose 3.6% annually in the bloc, and air passenger rights reform is pending final approval by the European Parliament.
