The European Union should impose an embargo on Russian oil as soon as possible, the chairmen of three German parliamentarian committees said on Tuesday after a visit to Ukraine.
German Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael Roth said cutting Russian oil would be a very important signal because it would affect Russia's main source of income.
Roth said a quick EU decision could be combined with a transition phase like the import ban on Russian coal, which will come into effect from mid-August after EU ambassadors agreed on it last week. "It can be done within a few weeks because there are other suppliers," said Anton Hofreiter, the head of the Bundestag's Europe's Committee, adding that the phase-out period to implement the ban on Russian coal was too long.
