The EU countries over the past months have been trying to agree on a price ceiling for Russian oil, the introduction of which is provided for by the eighth package of sanctions. The restriction on the price of oil should come into force on December 5, on oil products - on February 5. However, representatives of different countries disagreed on what this price should be, BLOOMBERG and Politico reported, citing their sources. Most EU countries were in favor of a price ceiling of $65-70 per barrel, but Poland was in favor of a cap of $30, Politico reported.

In addition, the EU continues to discuss a possible price ceiling for Russian gas at the level of €275 per 1 MWh (about $3,000 per 1,000 cubic meters at the current exchange rate). The tool is proposed to be used if futures on the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF, a virtual trading platform where gas is traded. - ) exceed this level for two weeks, and the gap between the prices of TTF and liquefied natural gas exceeds €58 ($616 per 1 thousand cubic meters — ) within ten trading days.

Nevertheless, the EU countries differ in their views on this issue, writes Politico. Belgium, Poland, Greece and Italy are backing gas caps, while the bloc, which includes Germany, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands, fears it could disrupt supply chains.
