In an interview at the Ambrosetti forum in Cernobbio, Italy, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Mer said that the G7 countries should be unanimously supported by the EU in implementing the decision to impose a price cap on oil from Russia. This has been reported Bloomberg.
“G7 leaders have agreed to limit oil prices, but it is clear that without the support of EU member states this will be a difficult task, it will take time,” he said.
According to Le Maire, it is necessary to explain to all 27 EU countries that the restriction of oil prices is necessary for the consistent implementation of the sanctions policy.
The Minister noted that the G7 (G7) states need broad support from other countries so that this idea does not look like an attempt by the West against Russia.
The politician stressed that EU countries should also prepare for a complete shutdown of Russian gas supplies.
