Nos enteramos esta mañana de que el gobierno de EE.UU. ha aparentemente decidido lo contrario. Una vez más, creemos que es una decisión equivocada.

Hemos estado juntos en los paquetes conjuntos de sanciones adoptados por la UE. Noruega los ha apoyado, y es en el sector energético donde Rusia está recibiendo las señales más fuertes. Por tanto, somos muy escépticos sobre la disminución de esa presión.
