The European Union remains divided into gas, the highest representative of the EU Kaya Calla after an informal meeting of foreign ministers in Copenhagen.
Kallas said that the unit negatively affects the universal trust of the EU and expressed its disappointment, that unity cannot achieve unity between ministers.
“If you personally ask what it is, that I am a person who is to blame, that we have no solution, then this is difficult. This is very difficult, ”said Callas.
“It is clear that the member states do not agree on how to force the course to change the Israeli government. The choice is clear and remains on the table. We presented a document with options. But the problem is that all EU member states do not agree, ”Kallas added.
The head of the diplomat said that the member states had not yet agreed with the plan to suspend free trade with Israel in accordance with the Agreement on Relations with Israel. Some countries opposed them, including Germany and Hungary, while Denmark, which is currently practicing the Cornetment of the rotation, said that she would support the detachment.
“If the majority increases, then the separation does not grow, but in fact it is reduced, because the majority is growing. Therefore, it depends on how you see it. But it is true that we still disagree with these measures, ”Kallas answered the journalist’s question.
Foreign Minister Denmark Lars Lyokke Rasmussen suggested that the EU could take some measures to get around the veto of some member states.
“We must work and think more innovatively about what the following best solutions can be.
Rasmusen also rejected Israel’s statement that Hamas would strengthen the restriction of free trade with Israel.
“I think it is important to question false narratives. And I mean that we have absolutely no intentions to strengthen Hamas, but vice versa, ”he said.
Kallas said that in Israel in Israel the EU succeeded in order to provide humanitarian assistance in gas, which led to the fact that there were more trucks in the zone, and more border passages were opened.
In addition, during the meeting, Blok approved a document called to the United States to draw a ban on a trip to the Palestinian delegation aimed at the United Nations General Assembly.
New sanctions can be aimed at encryption associated with Russia
Kallas also spoke about the investigation of the European Union options for imposing sanctions on encryption markets that help to avoid Russian sanctions.
The block plans to present new sanctions against Russia next week in response to an increase in bombing in Moscow against political goals in Ukraine.
On Thursday, a Russian blow in Kyiv killed 25 people, including many children. The attack also damaged the EU delegation and the British Council building. M -n Callas said that EU measures can reflect previous sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom aimed at ensuring that the encryption networks used to circumvent economic sanctions against Russia.
“There were many other ideas that were placed on the table, for example, financial institutions, but also how our colleagues in the United Kingdom mentioned what they did. We will consider these opportunities. Cryptura is one thing, although I don’t know how possible. ”
The United Kingdom, among other things, is aimed at the A7A5 coupon, which was created in Kyrgyzstan, which has transported almost 8 billion euros in recent months. The company based on Luxembourg was also on their list.
Other elements in the 19th EU sanctions will include restrictions on oil and gas imports, secondary sanctions against Russian trading partners and restrictions on the so -called Russian “shadow fleet” participating in the detour of oil fines.
The EU moves to minimize risks from the point of view of mandatory assets
The meeting of Foreign Ministers Copenhagen was held in plan with the so -called gymnichka, which means that no decisions were made at the informal assembly, but that occurred could determine the direction of future negotiations.
Finally, ministers also discussed the issue of committed assets of Russia. Callas confirmed that Russia cannot get 210 billion euros for related assets without paying compensation in Ukraine.
However, the member states were divided into the possibility of seizing such assets. Belgium, which has the largest number of assets, opens against this movement, fearing the legal consequences.
According to Kalas, the EU is moving to minimize potential risks for member states and, possibly, today the separation of some dangers of Belgium.
