February 2, <\/strong>Pozirk.<\/strong> <\/em>Last week, the European Commission registered a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) entitled \u201cStop Funding Russia’s War: Phase Out Harmful and Useless Russian Imports into the EU.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative urges the Commission \u201cto propose firm, immediate measures to end the EU’s remaining import dependencies on Russia and Belarus by introducing sectoral bans or decisive phase-outs,\u201d says a report on the European Commission\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stated aim is to stop the flow of EU funds to Moscow, eliminate structural vulnerabilities in critical supply chains and reinforce a coherent, values-based trade policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commission has yet to analyze the substance of the proposals, while their registration does not influence the final decision or any potential actions, the report noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organizers have six months to launch the signature collection, which can last up to one year and requires at least one million signatures for the initiative to be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
