EU rules out imposing ban on Russian gas supplies

European Commission's Spokesman Eric Mamer has said that the European Union has no plans to impose a ban on Russian gas supplies.

“We have adopted measures with some exceptions regarding oil which is transported to the EU via pipelines. Brussels does not have and did not have plans to introduce a ban on the import of Russian gas,” he said during a briefing, according to RBC.

Mamer noted that the proposal of introducing a ceiling on prices for Russian oil is being discussed.

Most of EU countries agree to set the price at $65-70 per barrel. No final decision has been made on this issue yet.
