The European Commission will propose a ban on new investments in Russia\u2019s mining sector as part of a fresh package of sanctions against Moscow aimed at further eroding the country\u2019s economy and the Kremlin\u2019s ability to fund its war against Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mining investment ban, which will have exceptions for some specific products, is part of a ninth EU sanctions package that officials will discuss with member states in the coming days and aim to have agreed by the end of next week, three people with knowledge of the discussions told the Financial Times.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s vast mining sector, a producer of commodities including gold, iron ore, uranium and phosphates, accounted for a quarter of foreign investment into the country before the Ukraine war, according to the Paris-based OECD. <\/p>\n

The measure, if backed unanimously by the 27 EU states, would mark the first time Brussels has directly targeted Russia\u2019s metals sector, which it has previously avoided due to fears over the potential impact on global supply chains.<\/p>\n

Trading company Glencore owns a 10.55 per cent stake in EN+, which controls Russia\u2019s largest aluminium producer. Global investors including BlackRock, Vanguard and UBS Asset Management hold stakes in major Russian mining companies including Norilsk Nickel and Evraz, according to data from S&P Capital IQ.<\/p>\n

The full EU sanctions package, which could still be amended before implementation, also includes export controls on civilian technologies that Brussels believes Russia is using to support its arms factories, a ban on transactions with three more Russian banks and targeted sanctions against another 180 individuals, the people said.<\/p>\n

The commission declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s previous measures<\/a>, along with those by the US, UK and other western allies, target scores of banks, defence companies, oil and gas producers and other critical parts of the country\u2019s economy, as well as hundreds of government officials, oligarchs and propagandists. They have already helped to push Russia\u2019s economy into recession<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The exact reach of the mining investment ban is still being defined, one of the people said, adding that it was likely to include derogations for certain products. Russia is a critical supplier to global markets of some metals such as titanium and palladium.<\/p>\n

Other elements of the draft package include a ban on four Russian media channels that the EU says are used to promote Moscow propaganda, export controls on dual-use products worth more than \u20ac2.3bn and a ban on dealings with Russian marketing and market research companies.<\/p>\n

The package, which has been drawn up after individual consultations between the commission and member state officials, will be discussed by ambassadors from the bloc\u2019s 27 countries this week and, if necessary, at a summit of EU leaders that takes place next Thursday.<\/p>\n

Previous EU sanctions packages have required some horse-trading among member states and a watering-down of measures to secure the requisite unanimous approval. <\/p>\n

Hungary, which has cultivated closer ties with Moscow than other EU members, has refused to endorse some elements of previous packages \u2014 such as a ban on Russian pipeline oil imports. Others have blocked efforts to bar imports of products used by their companies, such as Belgium\u2019s refusal to support a ban on diamonds.<\/p>\n
