The EU has delayed its proposal for a complete ban on oil imports from Russia. The move comes amid a sudden loss of political support due to the Iran war, even though the draft is already prepared. The regulation was set to apply to all member states, including Hungary and Slovakia.
Brussels/Frankfurt. The EU Commission has been working for months on a complete ban of oil imports from Russia. The proposal is fully prepared but is now being delayed.
EU circles report that political backing has suddenly evaporated due to the Iran war. The new regulation was intended to prohibit all member states from purchasing Russian oil, including Hungary and Slovakia.
The postponement means the legislation is on hold for now. No official confirmations from Brussels have been issued yet.
