The corresponding decision can make a qualified predominantly, it does not require a united vote, the European Commission said.
The European Union considers the option of introducing higher tariffs for importing Russian oil by deciding the qualified majority, and not united voting. This was announced by European Commission’s representative Olaf Gill in a briefing in Brussels on Tuesday, September 24th.
“I confirm that this is not part of the 19 -19 -pack of penalties, as the penalties are welcomed unanimously. Any offer for Russian oil tariffs will be accepted by a qualified majority as a trading -related proposal. I cannot provide more details today. Over time, we will think about what it means,” European official explained.
According to him, for the European Union to stop expecting Russian fossil fuel is a geostrategic priority.
The EU member states consider the European Commission’s proposals for the 19th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, which includes restrictions on ports where Russian liquid gas is provided.
“During the press approach with President Trump, President Von Der Lyaina mentioned the additional steps we intend to take. He was discussing sanctions against the ports where LNG came from. It was part of the 19th package. He also said we wanted to increase tariffs for oil imports from Russia,” Gill said.
As you know, the main “stumbling block” about the adoption of the European Union of Restrictions in Russian oil is Hungary, in particular, the country’s prime minister Viktor Orban and its government. The European Commission plans to release about 550 million euros from the EU fund for Budapest to overcome Orban’s resistance.
It should be noted that in 2022 the EU was frozen about 22 billion euros for Budapest due to problems with the law and independence of the courts. Some of these funds are gradually undermining political concessions.
Trump said he would talk to Orban about the purchase of Russian Federation oil
