Recital 10

(10) Decision (CFSP) 2025/1495 imposes a prohibition on the purchase, import, or transfer, directly or indirectly into the Union, of petroleum products obtained in a third country from Russian crude oil, as well as on the provision of related technical or financial assistance. That Decision also introduces a list of partner countries which have a set of restrictive measures that are substantially equivalent to those imposed by the Union on imports of Russian oil and petroleum products. Petroleum products imported from net exporters of crude oil should be considered to have been obtained from domestic crude oil and not from crude oil originating in Russia. The Commission should issue guidance on the implementation of this prohibition, in particular as regards the evidence which should be provided by operators engaged in the import of refined petroleum products.
