An agreement within the week of the EU countries is possible. on the European Commission proposal for a ban on oil imports from Russiaassessed today the Minister of European Affairs of France Clement Bon.
“I think we can reach an agreement this week,” Bonn told LCI. He added that French President Emmanuel Macron would hold talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban later today.
The Commission proposed last week the toughest sanctions package to date against Moscow for its invasion of Ukrainebut several countries opposed worrying about the implication of the embargo on Russian oil imports.
Some Eastern European countries, members of the EU, are worried that a freeze on imports will not give them enough time to adjust, although diplomats have said Hungary and Slovakia will have time by the end of 2023. Hungary is the fiercest opponent of this planned embargo.
However, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday that she had made progress in her talks with Orban on the issue, according to APE-MPE, citing Reuters.
