EAM Jaishankar deftly counters question on Russian oil imports by India

New Delhi/Brussels, May 16 (UNI) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday cited European Council regulations to say that “if Russian crude is substantially transformed in a third country then it is not treated as Russian anymore”, as he countered a media question on India selling refined oil products using Russian oil.
At a media event, post the holding of the first India-EU Trade and Technology Council Meeting in Brussels, a media person posed the question that Josep Borrell, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the EU Commission, had said that the EU should be putting sanctions on refined oil products from India using Russian oil.
To this, EAM answered: “You are right Mr Borrell is not with us now but I really don’t see the basis for your question, because my understanding of the Council regulations is that if Russian crude is substantially transformed in a third country, then it is not treated as Russian anymore. I would urge you to look at Council Regulation 833/2014.”
