L'UE reporte l'interdiction des importations de pétrole russe en raison de la guerre en Iran

L'UE a retardé sa proposition d'interdiction totale des importations de pétrole en provenance de Russie. Cette décision survient suite à une perte soudaine de soutien politique causée par la guerre en Iran, alors même que le projet est déjà prêt. Le règlement devait s'appliquer à tous les États membres, y compris la Hongrie et la Slovaquie.

Bruxelles/Francfort. La Commission européenne travaille depuis des mois sur une interdiction totale des importations de pétrole russe. La proposition est entièrement finalisée, mais elle est désormais reportée.

Des cercles européens rapportent que le soutien politique s'est soudainement évaporé en raison de la guerre en Iran. Le nouveau règlement visait à interdire à tous les États membres l'achat de pétrole russe, y compris à la Hongrie et à la Slovaquie.

Ce report signifie que la législation est mise en suspens pour le moment. Aucune confirmation officielle n'a encore été émise par Bruxelles.

The European Union is preparing non-binding guidance urging member states to reduce reliance on Middle Eastern jet fuel and consider increasing imports from the United States, a source familiar with the plans told Reuters, as the Iran war continues to disrupt energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

On the fifth day of the war in Iran, Tehran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has driven up oil and gas prices, affecting the global economy. European gas prices rose from 32 to 49 euros per MWh, while Brent crude climbed from 72 to 82 dollars per barrel. Europe, vulnerable due to its reliance on imports, faces heightened risks if the conflict drags on.

As the US-Israel-Iran conflict surpasses its fourth day following initial strikes on February 28, Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz and launched drone attacks on key Saudi and Qatari energy facilities. Growing European involvement and US commitments elsewhere raise concerns over prolonged hostilities harming American interests. De-escalation through negotiations is urgently needed.
