New EU sanctions package includes ban on oil transportation via Druzhba pipeline's northern section - Polish envoy

WARSAW. June 21 (Interfax) - The European Commission took into account a number of Warsaw's proposals when drafting the 11th package of anti-Russian sanctions, Permanent Representative of Poland to the European Union Andrzej Sados said in Brussels on Wednesday.

"Among other things, the list includes the provision suggested by Poland on sanctions against the northern section of the Druzhba oil pipeline, and the banning of Russian semi-trucks from entering the European Union," Radio Poland quoted Sados as saying.

The new package of sanctions envisages the possibility of using restrictions against entities which systematically support circumvention of sanctions, he said.
