Belgian Prime Minister Calls on the EU to Bear the Financial Risks of Compensation for Russian Assets

Belgian Prime Minister: Belgium advocates that the EU as a whole should bear all financial risks of using Russian assets

Sputnik, Brussels, December 18 - Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever stated that due to the court's judgment on compensation amounts possibly far exceeding the scale of Russian assets, all financial risks must be borne by the EU as a whole.

De Wever said in a speech to the Belgian parliament on December 18: "Given that the specific amount of risk is still uncertain, Belgium continues to advocate that the EU (rather than Belgium alone) bears all financial responsibility... The final compensation in such cases often far exceeds the principal due to high litigation costs, unpaid interest or loss compensation."
