Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has proposed to impose additional tariffs on those who are obliged to buy oil from Russia, who cannot supply Russian oil for 6 months or a year.
This happened within the framework of the proposals of the Polish authorities, as part of the discussion of a new package of sanctions against Russia, in which the Prime Minister of Poland announced a proposal to impose these tariffs on countries that continue to buy Russia’s oil afterwards. other countries refuse these supplies.
“Poland proposes balancing payments. The importer of oil from Russia, who gets it cheaper, because Russia still has to sell the oil, is forced not to earn income that is not available to the countries and traders that they supplied the oil faster. . . said Mateusz. “.
Morawiecki indicated that some countries could not quickly surrender, within 6 months or a year, Russian oil, and here he referred to Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria, where he went on: “These are the countries that are looking for a longer transition. weather, and we must consider some concerns, but in addition to these countries, must have more courage to deny Russia’s oil supplies.
European Union countries have not been able, for nearly three weeks, to reach an agreement on a sixth package of sanctions against Russia, which includes a ban on Russia’s oil supply. The European Commission proposed to ban the import of crude oil from Russia 6 months after the implementation of the sixth package of sanctions, and to ban the import of petroleum derivatives from 2023. At the same time, the European Commission proposed to allow Hungary and Slovakia to buy Russian oil until the end of 2024.
According to sources, the European Commission has already had to water down some of its proposals on timing, standards and possible exemptions on the oil embargo, as Hungary opposes the embargo, which is supported by several other countries, that he believed the damage of this measure would be catastrophic for Europe.
