(4 years ago)European Union Interior Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said it is unfair to say that the EU is divided over the Russian oil embargo, despite Hungary continuing to say it cannot support these sanctions. Bretton said the EU has acted too fast to impose five package sanctions [...]
Bretton said the EU has acted too quickly to impose five package sanctions so far against Russia and called for the EU to hold discussions to take care of all states.
On the other hand, he said that if sanctions are implemented, then alternative solutions should also be proposed for countries dependent on oil originating from Russia.
We have two countries that are 100% dependent on oil, Russian oil, so we have to take care of them. In other words, if we apply these sanctions, we should also propose alternative solutions for those in need - namely, what we are doing. That's why it's taking a little bit of time, but we're working on it”, it's Breton, writes CNN, broadcasts Clankosova.tv.
EU Interior Market Commissioner also had strong words for the executive car branding chief Volkswagen, who has called for completion of the war in Ukraine to lift sanctions
There's a war here. And a war is a matter of states, it's not a company issue. We've always been very clear, with every industrial ecosystem and company. We'll take care of it, but war is the matter of the state- nobody else”, Bretton said,
