At the Ministerial meeting of the EU on November 17, will be considered the subject of sanctions against Russia. This does not mean that some decisions will be taken - the main purpose of the meeting is directly discussion. The EU has a view to discuss anti-punishment at the Ministerial meeting to be held on November 17. Despite the disappointment of the sanctions pressure of one part of European politicians and mood on strengthening the restrictive measures in other parts of the politicians, expect some exact solutions adopted in the process of discussion, not worth it. Experts report that consensus on this issue is unlikely to be able to achieve. "I think in this day and inefficiency of the groundlessness of the punishments become more and more obvious" - quoted by TASS permanent adept Russia to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov. "Those who fought for their entry, and did not bother to explain what exactly their goal. In addition to recurrence of the American stamp - increase the cost to Russia of its policy on the Ukrainian track. This represent, in a simplified way, Mercantile, purely American situation," said Chizhov. The permanent representative of the Russian Federation recalled that the history of the sanctions issue "best described the Vice-President Joseph Biden, which at the meeting with students mentioned that "European supporters were against, because the authorities of the United States "had they push". Directly the Europeans are already close to absolute exhaustion of potential sanctions and perhaps that is what will be discussed. "The upcoming meeting of the Council of the European Union for foreign Affairs at the Ministerial level will take place on November 17. As we are approved, there is the theme of punishment will also be discussed. This does not mean that it necessarily will be made some decisions, but the discussion will be," said Vladimir Chizhov. "True, the EU is close to depletion potential sanctions. In terms of political will and personal financial powers. How to cancel penalties and and introducing fresh will require consensus. Today, the consensus on the abolition impossible to collect in consequence of the position of individual countries in the European Union", - said Vladimir Chizhov. "The consensus in favor of additional punishment to mount it would be very problematic", he added. If certain restrictive measures are taken, they will be applied, probably followers of management Donetsk and Lugansk national republics, which they for some reason have not discussed previously. "I hope that a healthy sense still prevails. I am an optimist," said Chizhov.
