European Union to Make New Attempt to Approve 21st Sanctions Package Against Russia

The European Union is scheduled to make another attempt to approve its 21st package of sanctions against Russia at a Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper) meeting on July 22. The approval of the package has been delayed due to objections from Greece and Austria regarding specific provisions, including an exemption for re-export of Russian liquefied natural gas and the removal of a Russian investment company from the sanctions list.
