According to the newspaper, Belgium, when agreeing on new restrictions, protects the introduction of restrictions against Russian diamondsNEW YORK, October 19.

/tass/. Some EU countries, when discussing new sanctions against the Russian Federation due to the situation around Ukraine, do not agree to restrictions in industries that benefit them. This was reported on Tuesday by The New York Times.

According to her, Belgium, when agreeing on new restrictions, protects the introduction of restrictions against Russian diamonds. Greece is trying to defend the right to transport Russian oil, while France and some other EU countries continue to import Russian nuclear fuel. "In general, this is the price for consensus and retention of this coalition," the publication quotes Jacob Kierkegaard, an employee of the Brussels division of the American analytical center German Marshall Fund, "We would like to include everything, diamonds and other individual interests, but, in my opinion, if this is the price for keeping everyone together then let it be so."

It is noted that the volume of trade in Russian diamonds is estimated at about $ 1.8 billion, and uranium is about $ 200 million.

In early October, the European Union imposed the eighth package of sanctions against Russia due to the accession of four subjects to the Russian Federation. The new package includes a legislative framework for setting a ceiling on Russian oil prices and trade restrictive measures for €7 billion. At the same time, as Le Monde newspaper reported, Belgium abstained from voting on the final document for the first time.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at the Russian Energy Week forum, said that Russia would not supply energy resources to those countries that would limit their prices.
