(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, APRIL 27 - Within the week the EU is aiming for the final ok to the sixth package of sanctions which will also include the - gradual - stop to Russian oil.

The Commission's lineup is to be defined but, European sources explain, it is possible that on Saturday Brussels will present its proposal to the ambassadors of the 27, giving the European chancelleries time to distinguish the measures.

The Ordinary Council of Energy Ministers is scheduled for 2 May and Coreper could be summoned immediately afterwards for the ok.

There is no date circled in red but the EU aims to close within the next week, in coordination with the new sanctions of London and the US.
