The latest package will be an extension of the EU blacklist. More people who are banned from entering the EU and whose assets are blocked in Europe will be added. More than 2,300 people are now reportedly on the blacklist.
Also, more companies violating European Union sanctions will be added to the list. This was confirmed on Friday by the Deputy Chairman of the European Commission, Valdis Dombrovskis. “It is about the fight against the circumvention of restrictions. The sanctions will apply to the ships of the so-called shadow fleet,” he added. These are vessels that transport Russian oil above the established prices, thus increasing the income to the Russian budget.
The 15th package will not be large, notes “Polish Radio”.
And since there will be no proposal for economic restrictions, it is expected that the agreement will not take much time, it will enter into force by the end of the year. However, next year, when Poland takes over the reins of the EU, the European Commission will propose more ambitious proposals with export and import restrictions, according to “Polish Radio”. It is also noted that an increase in tariffs on agro-food products and nitrogen fertilizers is expected.
