European energy ministers are gathering in Dublin to address the pressing issue of rising energy costs, which threaten to increase financial burdens on households as winter approaches. The discussions focus on the potential economic impact of these price hikes and their possible influence on voter sentiment across the continent. Beyond energy policy, the agenda includes a review of the European Commission's "Right to Stay" initiative, designed to support rural populations and discourage migration to urban centers by improving local services and employment opportunities. Furthermore, the Commission is evaluating significant reforms to the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO). Critics have long characterized the current recruitment process for permanent EU positions as inefficient, expensive, and overly sluggish, prompting calls for a structural overhaul of the hiring system.
