"After
setting the 62 dollars per barrel upper oil price limit for oil exported by
Russia, which is being considered by the institutions of the European Union
(EU), the margin paid to Russia would be "incredibly high", says
Gabrielius Landsbergis, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"From our perspective, if we take into
account that Russia pays about 20 dollars for oil production, then the margin
that we would be ready to pay to Russia is incredibly high," G.
Landsbergis told reporters on Tuesday, when he arrived at the meeting of NATO
foreign ministers in Bucharest. .
"We should
explain to our people that for every barrel of oil we buy, we want to leave 42
dollars for the Russians," said the foreign minister.
On Monday,
ambassadors of EU countries discussed whether to set a price ceiling of 62
dollars per barrel for crude oil exported by Russia. However, as several
Community diplomats told the Euractiv portal, some countries, including
Lithuania, want significantly lower oil price "ceilings".
Poland, along with
Lithuania and Estonia, is said to be pushing for a significantly lower oil
price cap of around $30 a barrel, and wants its implementation tied to the
promise of a ninth package of sanctions against Russia.
According to G.
Landsbergis, the fallen oil prices currently do not reach their considered
upper limit.
"I think that
a very constructive conversation is taking place in the EU and, as you probably
know, Lithuania is not the only country with certain doubts. I am convinced
that the result (of the negotiations - BNS) will be favorable, but not for the
Russians", said G. Landsbergis.
The ceiling for
oil prices would be based on December 5 ban that will come into effect,
according to which companies will be prohibited from transporting cargoes of
Russian oil or insuring them, if this oil will be sold at a higher price than
the set price."
What's bothering you? Poop out the oil and sell it cheaper, you
stupid broiler.
