Putin and Berlsconi violated EU sanctions when they exchanged vodka and wine - the media

The fifth sanction package prohibits the import of alcohol from Russia to the European Union. The former Italian premiere is expected to legal consequences because of Vladimir Putin. The exchange of alcoholic beverages of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Italian policy of Silvio Berlusconi violates European sanctions against the Russian Federation. About it writes the German Agency DPA with reference to a representative of the European Commission.

Restrictions prohibit the import of alcoholic beverages from Russia to the EU territory - the fifth sanction package that came into force in April, contains a ban on the import of vodka. "The responsibility for the implementation of sanctions is borne by the EU states. It was at first unclear whether restrictions on gifts apply. Berlusconi's position against Ukraine still coincides with the position of Europe and the US," the representative said.

Berlusconi boasted in communication with the Italian media by having sent him 20 bottles of vodka and a "very sweet letter" for his birthday. Berlusconi said he had sent a bottle of Italian wine in response. Berlusconi trusted persons, including the future Foreign Minister Antonio Tayani, rejected the comments request.

The Italian edition of Europa today, citing EU representative, Masralla's Foreign Affairs, added that it was necessary to check whether the departure of wine and vodka under restrictive measures approved by the EU Council. "If the test gave a positive result, the legal consequences could have had legal consequences for Berluscon," Masrali stressed.

The La Repubblica newspaper reminded of the ban on the sale, supply, transfer or export of luxury items, including wine, any natural or legal person, organization or body in Russia or for use in that country, if their value exceeds 300 euros per unit. Recall that the edition of Lapresse wrote about "reconciliation" of Berlusconi and Putin through the exchange of elite alcohol. Berlusconi's associates said the politician mentioned the history of 2008.
