The EC said that the gas price cap should apply to Switzerland and Britain

According to Bloomberg, the EC circulated a document with recommendations before the meeting of EU energy ministers.

It notes that to ensure the effectiveness of the new measure, it must be supported outside the EU, including Switzerland and the UK.

In addition, the EU is studying the possibility of introducing increased prices for fuel exports outside the EU.

However, according to the source of the agency, this measure cannot be approved due to the prohibition by a number of international agreements of the European Union with partner countries.

Earlier, the US Treasury proposed to set the maximum price for Russian oil in the region of $60.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia will not act to its own detriment if Western countries impose a price ceiling on Russian energy resources.

The IMF noted uncertainty about the effectiveness of the cap on oil prices from Russia.

For example, the head of the office of the Prime Minister of Hungary, Gergely Guiyash, said that the Hungarian government would not allow the EU to impose new sanctions against Russian gas.
