The European Union looks set to approve a cap on the price of Russian oil after Poland gave its backing. The plan, which stops countries paying more than $60 (€57; £48) a barrel, needed the agreement of all EU states. Poland announced its support on Friday after being reassured the cap would be kept at 5% lower than the market rate. A price cap was put forward by the G7 group of nations in September and aims to stop Moscow profiting from oil exports while avoiding a price spike. Poland’s support for the proposal means the EU can keep to its plan of having a price cap in place by 5 December. It had been reported that the EU wanted to set the cap at $65-70 but this was rejected by Poland, Lithuania and Estonia as too high. Warsaw had wanted the value to be as low as possible and had held out while it examined an adjustment mechanism which would keep the cap below the market rate as the price of oil changed. On Friday, Russian Urals crude was trading at $64 a barrel.

• G7 agrees to impose price cap on Russian oil
• How can the world cope without Russian oil and gas?

The agreement of a price cap comes just days before an EU-wide ban on Russian crude oil imported by sea comes into force, also on 5 December. The price cap – which is meant to affect oil exports worldwide – is meant to complement that. Countries that sign up to the G7-led policy will only be permitted to purchase oil and petroleum products transported via sea that are sold at or below the price cap. Ukraine’s western allies plan to deny insurance to tankers delivering Russian oil to countries that do not stick to the price cap. This will make it hard for Russia to sell oil above that price. G7 finance ministers said in September that their plan to limit the price of Russian crude would reduce Moscow’s oil revenues and its ability to “fund its war of aggression”. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby welcomed the agreement of an EU price cap on Friday, saying it would slow Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “war machine”. Russia denounced the scheme, saying it would not supply those countries which enforced a price cap. Before the war, in 2021, more than half of Russia’s oil exports went to Europe, according to the International Energy Association. Germany was the largest importer, followed by the Netherlands and Poland. But since the war, EU countries have been desperately trying to decrease their dependency. The US has already banned Russian crude oil, while the UK plans to phase it out by the end of the year. https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299530 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299525 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299515 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299510 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300698 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299505 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299386 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299376 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295894 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300657 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299490 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295884 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295874 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295844 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295839 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300668 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300632 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300622 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299430 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300617 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295819 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299425 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299420 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299415 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300643 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299296 https://tealfeed.com/redditstreamsusa-vs-netherlands-live-streamreddit-03-i5l8z https://tealfeed.com/officialredditfifa-world-cup-netherlands-vs-usa-l8ygg https://tealfeed.com/redditstreams-netherlands-vs-usa-live-streamreddit-fv0zf https://tealfeed.com/livestream-tv-fifa-world-cup-2022-dx14s https://tealfeed.com/crackstreamsnetherlands-vs-usa-live-streamreddit-tv-uoveo https://tealfeed.com/total-sportek-usa-vs-netherlands-free-qqpon https://tealfeed.com/free-streaming-watch-netherlands-vs-usa-hhacu https://tealfeed.com/netherlands-vs-usa-live-stream-reddit-cpcim https://tealfeed.com/blacktie-sports-free-reddit-netherlands-vs-ilr9s https://tealfeed.com/crackstreams-australia-vs-argentina-live-stream-89znv https://tealfeed.com/free-streaming-watch-argentina-vs-australia-96d5x https://tealfeed.com/redditstreams-australia-vs-argentina-live-streamreddit-xdt35 https://tealfeed.com/officialredditfifa-world-cup-argentina-vs-australia-p3xz4 https://tealfeed.com/livestreamstv-fifa-world-cup-2022-argentina-0cqpi https://tealfeed.com/redditstreams-argentina-vs-australia-live-streamreddit-xrlqf https://tealfeed.com/blacktie-sports-free-reddit-argentina-vs-yho96 https://tealfeed.com/argentina-vs-australia-live-stream-reddit-wpecr https://tealfeed.com/bein-sports-australia-vs-argentina-live-9t6oh https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299530/+FREE_STREAMING_Watch_Argentina_vs_Australia_Live_ https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299525/LIVESTREAM_TV_FIFA_World_Cup_Australia_2022_Austra https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299515/Blacktie_Sports_-_Free_Reddit_Argentina_vs_Austral https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299510/++RedditStreamS_Argentina_vs_Australia_Live_Stream https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300698/RedditStreams_Australia_vs_Argentina_Live_StreamRe https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299505/RedditStreamS_Australia_vs_Argentina_Live_StreamRe https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299386/OfficialRedditFIFA_World_Cup_Argentina_vs_Australi https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299376/CrackstreamsArgentina_vs_Australia_Live_StreamRedd https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295894/beIN_SPORTS_Australia_vs_Argentina_Live_Streaming_ https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300657/FREE_STREAMING_Watch_Argentina_vs_Australia_Live_S https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299490/Argentina_vs_Australia_Live_Stream_Reddit_amp_Crac https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295884/Reddit_FIFA_World_Cup_2022_StreamS_-_Australia_vs_ https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295874/TOTAL_SPORTEK_Australia_vs_Argentina_Free_LIVE_STR https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295844/LIVESTREAM_TV_FIFA_World_Cup_2022_USA_vs_Netherlan https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295839/RedditStreamsUSA_vs_Netherlands_Live_StreamReddit_ https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300668/+RedditStreamS_Netherlands_vs_USA_Live_StreamReddi https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300632/OfficialRedditFIFA_World_Cup_Netherlands_vs_USA_20 https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300622/RedditStreamsUSA_vs_Netherlands_Live_StreamReddit_ https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299430/Blacktie_Sports_-_Free_Reddit_Netherlands_vs_USA_B https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300617/TOTAL_SPORTEK_USA_vs_Netherlands_Free_LIVE_STREAM_ https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1295819/Reddit_FIFA_World_Cup_2022_StreamS_-_USA_vs_Nether https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299425/Netherlands_vs_USA_Live_Stream_Reddit_amp_Crackstr https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299420/FREE_STREAMING_Watch_Netherlands_vs_USA_Live_Strea https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299415/beIN_SPORTS_USA_vs_Netherlands_Live_Streaming_Broa https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1300643/Crackstreams_USA_vs_Netherlands_Live_Stream_Reddit https://new.c.mi.com/th/post/1299296/WATCHFREE_USA_vs_Netherlands_LiveStream_Online_TV_ Though the measures will most certainly be felt by Russia, the blow will be partially softened by its move to sell its oil to other markets such as India and China – who are currently the largest single buyers of Russian crude oil.
