欧盟迈出延长对俄制裁第一步

EU leaders took the first step towards extending their sweeping economic sanctions against Russia on Thursday night, agreeing that the measures would be maintained unless last month’s ceasefire agreement reached in Minsk was implemented in full by Moscow.

欧盟迈出延长对俄制裁第一步
周四晚,欧盟(EU)领导人迈出了延长对俄全面经济制裁的第一步。他们达成共识,除非俄罗斯完全履行上月在明斯克达成的停火协议,将把对俄制裁延续下去。

The communiqué, agreed on the first day of a two-day summit in Brussels, fell short of hopes from some hardline countries — and the summit’s host, European Council president Donald Tusk — for an immediate renewal of the sanctions, which are due to expire in July.

此次欧盟峰会在布鲁塞尔举行,为期两天。第一天达成的会议公报,没有满足一些立场强硬国家和欧洲理事会(European Council)主席唐纳德•图斯克(Donald Tusk)的希望,立即延长原定今年7月到期的制裁。

But by tying the measures to the Minsk agreement, which among other things requires Russia to secure its border with Ukraine and hand over its control to Ukrainian authorities, officials believe extension is now assured since the Kremlin is not expected to live up to the agreement’s terms.

但是,把制裁跟明斯克协议捆绑在一起后,欧盟官员们可以认为延长制裁可以确定的了,因为预计俄罗斯不会履行该协议的条款。明斯克协议内容包括,要求俄罗斯确保俄乌边境的安全,并将控制权移交给乌克兰当局。

“Our common intention is also very, very clear,” said Mr Tusk at a post-summit press conference. “We have to maintain our sanctions until the Minsk agreement is fully implemented.”

“我们的共同意图是非常明确的,”图斯克在峰会后的一场记者招待会上说,“我们必须维持制裁,直到俄罗斯完全履行明斯克协议为止。”

The communiqué notes the Minsk agreement is not expected to be completed until December, sending a signal that the extension, once it is agreed, would be for six months rather than the full year of the original sanctions regime.

会议公报指出,明斯克协议将于今年12月到期,这对外发出一个信号:一旦各方同意延长制裁,延长期限将为6个月,而不是最初制裁安排的一整年。

The EU sanctions agreed in July include an arms embargo against Russia as well as a ban on selling the Kremlin sophisticated oil-drilling equipment, a measure aimed at degrading the ability of Russia’s energy sector to expand. Most importantly, it bars Russia’s largest banks from raising money on European financial markets.

去年7月达成的欧盟制裁包括,对俄武器禁运,以及禁止对俄出售先进的石油钻探设备,以期削弱俄能源业的扩张能力。最重要的是,它将禁止俄罗斯的大银行在欧洲金融市场上融资。
