Hello Paula.
There are currently 7 ships going from Russia to the US carrying diesel under the Trump-Putin deal.
It appears that several of these ships are actually of European origin, we have
seen that US senators are warning the ships to go back because they say the sanctions waiver does not overrule US Congress.
Do you have any position on this matter? What's your advice to these vessels?
Should they go back or should they keep going? Thank you.
I think my advice in this case does not really matter.
What matters is the position that we have on this topic, and which we set out very clearly from the beginning. You know what the position is.
There are sanctions in place,
supported by the EU when it comes to the exports of oil,
oil products from Russia, they're subject to sanctions, they are subject to an oil price cap,
and we stick to those sanctions,
and the less that can be promoted in terms of those exports,
the better. Other questions. David
