File photoBRUSSELS, May 4The EU proposal for an oil embargo against Russia takes into account the fact that some EU countries are more dependent on Russian energy resources for a number of reasons, European Commission spokesman Eric Mamer said at a briefing in Brussels.» «We recognize that some states, due to their geographical position, are dependent on the supply of resources from Russia, which go through the oil pipeline. They are in a special situation. This must be taken into account, we have taken this into account, now the EU Council must decide how to move forward taking into account these considerations,» he said, answering the question whether exceptions would be made to the issue of the embargo on Russian oil for European states, which are more dependent on supplies from Russia.
