    EU Considers Adding Chinese Refineries to New Russia Sanctions List

    Overview of Proposed Sanctions

    By Julia Payne

    Inclusion of Chinese Refineries

    BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission is considering listing some independent Chinese refineries in its 19th package of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, EU officials who asked not to be named, said.

    Impact on Central Asian Banks

    The Commission may propose the new package as soon as Friday after an EU delegation returns from sanctions talks in Washington.

    EU Sanctions Process

    The EU is ramping up the size of third country companies it lists from small, unknown shell companies moving dual-use goods to Moscow to established entities that aid Russia in circumventing Western restrictions. In its 18th package, the EU listed two Chinese banks and India's major Nayara Energy refinery at Vadinar.

    The proposal is also expected to list banks in two central Asian countries.

    The EU has been eying some Chinese refineries since the summer for possible Russian oil purchases from the already sanctioned shadow fleet. The sources did not provide further detail.

    EU sanctions require unanimity from member states in order to pass.
