“Because one thing is clear: decisions on the European energy policy we accept the capitals of Europe and shared in Brussels. We decide where we purchase energy”, – quotes the Maas to the Agency “Interfax”.
the Minister also emphasized that even though long-term relationships Europe and the United States are based “on a firm Foundation, and never determined solely by short-term politics,” the German side clearly do not agree with extraterritorial sanctions, what makes it clear to the US authorities.
According to the Maas, all of this is not just a question of the sovereignty of the German energy policy, but also create legal security for German companies.
the Head of the German foreign Ministry also said that German-Russian relations “too important to let them slide”. He added that without the participation of Russia is impossible to settle conflicts in Ukraine, Libya and Syria.
