EU countries do not have the ability to come to a common vision on the issue of renewal or cancellation penalties regarding Russia, the term of which ends in March, said Russia's permanent representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov. " The specifics of the EU lies in the fact that decision making requires consensus As to the issue of lifting sanctions, and for their continuation. In March expire on their expiration date. In my estimation, consensus in the EU is not in relation to their removal or renewal " - quoted Chizhov TASS." for this reason I have focused on the proposal of Mogherini to separate the punishment imposed after the return of the Crimea, and on the other. Think on this way will take political thought in the EU, " he added." Russian producers have the opportunity in the end, the response of the Russian measures to take place in the market, " he also said the diplomat." This is not, This means that the Russian response to the restrictive measures introduced in perpetuity. As soon as the EU will cancel their punishment, we will immediately cancel and mine, " he said. Remember, before Wednesday the head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of Russia S. Lavrov Century said that the refusal of the anti-Russian punishment supports almost fifty percent of the EU countries. On the first day of the week, EU leaders called for the preservation of the anti-punishment. In addition, last week the European Parliament addressed the Council, urging them to accept the punishment is relatively Russia in the nuclear and financial sectors in the absence of progress in the settlement of the Ukrainian fall. At the same time the wall Street Journal reported that the European Union is ready to mitigate the punishment concerning Russia and not fully normalize relations with Moscow in case of change of its position on the situation in Ukraine.
