EU proposes gradual ban on Russian oil in sixth round of sanctions against Moscow – CNBC

EU proposes gradual ban on Russian oil in sixth round of sanctions against Moscow – CNBC

The European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, on Wednesday put forward new sanctions against the Kremlin which will include a six-month phase out of Russian crude imports.

Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and evidence of war crimes, has pushed the EU to take bolder steps on energy sanctions. But imposing measures that could reduce, or fully cut, Russian energy supplies to the EU have been a complicated task for the bloc.

This is because the region is reliant on Russia for several sources of energy, including oil. In 2020, Russian oil imports accounted for about 25% of the bloc’s crude purchases, according to the region’s statistics office.

“Let us be clear: it will not be easy,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said during a speech at the European Parliament Wednesday.

“Some member states are strongly dependent on Russian oil. But we simply have to work on it. We now propose a ban on Russian oil. This will be a complete import ban on all Russian oil, seaborne and pipeline, crude and refined.”

Exemptions

The ban had been a highly controversial topic within the EU, but the move gained more momentum after Germany backed the idea. Two EU nations — Slovakia and Hungary which are both highly dependent on Russian energy — have been demanding exemptions.

Von der Leyen chose not to give any details on exemptions during her speech, but three EU officials, who did not want to be named due to the sensitive nature of the issue, confirmed to CNBC that the commission’s proposal includes this flexibility — giving Hungary and Slovakia a longer period of time to phase out Russian oil.

Two of the anonymous officials said that both nations will have until the end of 2023 to halt Russian oil imports.

Speaking Wednesday, von der Leyen explained that the six-month phase out period for most EU nations would give time for commodity markets to adjust.

“We maximize pressure on Russia, while at the same time minimizing collateral damage to us and our partners around the globe. Because to help Ukraine, our own economy has to remain strong,” she added.

The war in Ukraine has brought new economic concerns for the EU. The region had started the year on a positive footing after two years of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, but that came to an abrupt end as the conflict in Ukraine developed.
