While the European business counts the losses already imposed sanctions and antisanktsy, politicians in a hurry to make it to a trade war advertising. Deputy Chairman of the European Parliament, Ryszard Czarnecki, MEP from the Polish conservative party “Law and Justice” called on the EU to attend the new “preventive” sanctions against Russia. In particular, the ban transactions with the ruble and thus make it a non-convertible and excluded from the global financial turnover.
MEP believes that such a strategy has already been tested and “has successfully hit the economic interests of Russia.” How so? The MP says that the “first wave” of sanctions Visa and Master Card cards have refused to serve some Russian banks. In his opinion, “the effect was impressive.” However, in Russia this effect, almost no one noticed, and the world’s payment systems almost immediately restored service cards and continue to operate safely in our market. But this seems to be the small details.
By the way, spoke with his Czarnecki had already managed a noise statements are not in the European Parliament, and in the Polish Sejm, at a press conference. Poland was a result of the Russian ban on imports of meat, milk and vegetables-fruits of the EU one of the most disgruntled European countries – accounted for a major share of imports in the Russian apples. Poles are already trying to complain about the actions of Russia in the WTO, and turned to the European Commission with a request to repair the damage. Local politicians did not even know what “offensive” response in turn come up with. In particular, propose to ban the export of Russian coal, which is cheaper than the local Polish (such a ban, however, can strike on the Polish same industry). But it is necessary to react to appease voters. Meanwhile, according to forecasts, the number of unemployed in Poland due to the Russian embargo of food will increase by 23 thousand people.
