the European Commission (EC) suggested making exceptions to the oil sanctions against Russia for the European Union, strongly dependent on Russian oil, the official representative of EC Eric Mamer at a briefing in Brussels said.
“We proposed to take into account the special situation of the states [EU], which, due to our geographical location, are strongly dependent on Russian pipeline oil. We are monitoring that our measures are not unbalanced and that all countries have access to oil, – quotes His TASS.
