DD India reports an EU average diesel price of €2.24 per litre, compared with €1.59 before the West Asia war, and says twelve member states have reached record prices. It names Belgium, Italy, Romania and Poland among them and says Denmark, the Netherlands and Finland exceed €2.50, with Germany at €2.44. The report links the increase to the regional war and says the European Commission, France, Italy, Ireland and the UK discussed a possible coordinated release of diesel stocks on Thursday. It reports discussions, not an agreed release.
