EU can agree Russia oil embargo, or seek alternative, – Minister of Economy of Germany

The EU may still agree on an embargo on Russian oil in the coming days or consider “other instruments” if no agreement is reached.

Habeck said all EU countries had to reduce their oil dependency.

“That includes Hungary. If you take that as the basis of discussion, then an agreement should be possible. If you include other topics into the question of an oil embargo it will be very, very difficult.”

“I know that intensive discussions are ongoing. In five days we have the next EU Council, I assume that that is the corridor in which either an agreement is reached or one will have to consider other instruments.”

He did not specify what those other instruments could be.
