The 14th package of sanctions against Russia should be in place before Hungary’s pro-Russian head of government Viktor Orban takes over the Council Presidency on July 1. In order for the timetable to work out, the EU Commission should send its proposals to the member states today or this Friday at the latest. The package will probably include sanctions against Russian liquefied natural gas for the first time. The proposal does not go as far as the Baltic states’ demand for a total phase-out of Russian energy. Only re-exports of Russian LNG via terminals in Belgium, France and Spain are targeted.
