We “call on the European Commission to initiate and on member states to adopt without delay a total ban on Russian energy commodities in the EU market,” says the letter, initiated by the green lawmaker Ville Niinistö from Finland.
Co-signed by lawmakers from several EU countries belonging to the centre-right, centre-left, centrist liberals, national conservatives, and the Greens, the letter addresses EU leaders and foreign and energy ministers.
