BRUSSELS, Jan 27 on oil products from Russia, said the representative of the EC.
«The Commission has proposed a structure of marginal prices for Russian oil products. This measure is closely coordinated with partners in the G7,» the source said.
According to him, the EC also called EU countries to consider additional trade sanctions against Minsk in order to bring these measures to the level of measures against Moscow.
«They include additional restrictions on exports, bans on services, restrictions on imports and further measures,» said representative of the European Commission.
The interlocutor of the agency added that the alleged restrictions should prevent the possibility of circumventing sanctions against Russia through Belarus.
«Now these proposals must be accepted by the member states (EU. — Note ed.)», he added.
С On December 5 last year, Western oil sanctions came into force: the European Union stopped accepting Russian oil transported by sea, and the G7 countries, Australia and the EU imposed a price limit for sea transportation at $60 per barrel, which is more expensive to transport. and it is forbidden to insure.
The introduction of a restriction on the prices of Russian oil products is expected in February, when the EU will refuse to purchase them and prohibit their transportation by sea.
Russia in response banned from February 1 to supply oil to foreign persons, if contracts directly or indirectly provide for a mechanism for fixing the marginal price. For petroleum products, the date will be determined by the government.
