BRUSSELS (AA) - The Belgian government on Friday announced new measures to provide financial relief to households bearing the brunt of the rising energy prices.
In a news conference, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said that they will provide the households with support of up to €135 ($135) for gas and €61 for electricity per month in November and December.
The support for those who use heating fuel vouchers will be increased from €225 to €300, he added.
Eligibility will be based on income and energy contract conditions.
