Poland proposed introducing a fee for countries importing oil from Russia

Poland proposes to introduce an additional fee for countries that will continue the import of Russian oil, the Prime Minister of Poland Mateust Moravetsky told reporters.

“At present, the European Union is under discussion of the sixth package of anti -Russian sanctions. Poland and some other countries insist that this package has a ban on oil imports from Russia. We are negotiating at the European Union level in order to agree on The next package also containing issues related to oil. It is necessary to take into account certain fears, but also from those states there should be more the courage of the entrance to this space, that is, the exclusion of oil supplies from Russia, ”the Moravetsky RIA quotes.

According to him, some countries that are more dependent on Russian oil do not agree to the embargo. “There are several countries that have a fast withdrawal problem, fast – this means during the next half of the year, for example, before the end of this year or even within 12 months – from Russian oil. These are states that do not have access to the sea do not have access to overload bases, one that we have at least we or other countries. I am talking about Hungary, but also about the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria. These are states that achieve longer transitional periods. In this context, I can say that I can say that Poland offered a special leveling payment. If someone will import oil from Russia longer, and it will import it cheaper, since it is important for Russia to sell oil at all costs, then it cannot gain benefits for those countries who will refuse from Oil is faster, ”said Moravetsky.
