The EU member states have not yet reached an agreement on the sixth package of sanctions proposed by the European Commission, which includes, among other things, a gradual embargo on oil imports from Russia. The ambassadors of the 27, according to what is learned in Brussels, still met in Coreper until recently and, even if there would remain a general consensus on the package and the political will to approve it, there is still resistance on some points. The Commission presented a revised version of the proposal, which extends the duration of the derogations for Hungary and Slovakia, which initially had an extra year, until the end of 2023, to exit Russian oil. Read also A new derogation, more limited in time, is also introduced for the Czech Republic. These are countries that are highly dependent on Russian oil and landlocked. These changes are seen as an important step towards reaching an agreement. However, problems remain, all linked to the oil embargo, in particular the duration of the derogations and the economic compensation for the countries that will have to adapt their refineries, which are now calibrated on Russian oil. The issue of the ban on transporting crude oil on ships flying the flag of EU countries also remains unresolved, a measure that constitutes a problem for Greece, Malta and Cyprus. The next few hours will be devoted to resolving these issues, through bilateral contacts between the Commission, the presidency of the EU Council and the States concerned. At the moment, it appears unlikely that Coreper, the Permanent Representatives Committee, will meet again this evening. It seems more likely a meeting tomorrow, or Sunday. The goal remains to approve the package before next Monday, May 9, an important date for Russia as it marks the celebration of the USSR’s victory in the ‘great patriotic war’ against the Third Reich. For the EU it is Europe Day, which celebrates the declaration with which Robert Schuman, French Foreign Minister, in 1950 proposed the creation of an Economic Community of Coal and Steel (Czech), the first of the institutions that in the time led to the birth of the EU.
