🗣️ According to “European Truth” citing sources, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that such a decision should be made only in coordination with the G7.
📍 Discussion of this issue is scheduled for the upcoming G7 summit in Canada, but according to a source, support for the initiative to lower the price cap is not expected there.
🗂️ Therefore, the EU will not include this change in the 18th sanctions package if consensus is not reached at the summit.
🏛️ Another source reported that during the meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives of the EU on June 16 in Brussels, the importance of coordinated action with the G7 was emphasized. Representatives of member countries expressed concerns about the risks of a unilateral price cap reduction.
⚠️ As diplomats note, the likelihood that the EU will take such a step independently is extremely low.
