The European Commission will propose to impose duties on Russian oil if EU members fail to agree on the timing of the termination of pipeline supplies that are not under the EU embargo. Reported by the Financial Times.

Such a plan is a last resort in case negotiations with Hungary on the timing of the termination of oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline reach an impasse, the newspaper writes..

Tariffs will make oil from Russia uncompetitive. Moreover, there are no legal obstacles to the introduction of duties.

Recall that the disputes about the oil embargo for Russia lasted more than a month.

Everything got to the point that all EU countries convinced Hungary of the need for this step. On the evening of May 30, the sixth package of sanctions, including the oil embargo, albeit partial, was nevertheless agreed upon and released from it by Hungary, which will continue to import Russian oil through the pipeline.

By the way, in Russia they have already reacted to another sanctions strike - they pretend that nothing happened and they will simply look for new markets.
