Germany is blocking a new package of EU sanctions against Russia, fearing for the export of dual-purpose goods

The countries of the European Union faced obstacles in the introduction of new sanctions against Russia due to the resistance of Germany. Concerns have been expressed in Berlin about the potential negative impact of the extended restrictions on German businesses.

This is reported Politic. 

According to the publication, the main reason that requires EU companies to monitor is that their customers do not resell sanctioned goods to Russia. Of particular concern in Berlin is the potential impact of these measures on dual-use products such as chemicals and metalworking equipment.

The European Commission is currently negotiating with Germany, trying to find a compromise and convince it to lift its veto on the new package of sanctions.
