COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2026/1805
of 16 July 2026
amending Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/1804 of 16 July 2026 amending Decision 2014/512/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine (1),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
On 31 July 2014, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 (2). |
|
(2) |
Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 gives effect to certain measures provided for in Council Decision 2014/512/CFSP (3). |
|
(3) |
On 16 July 2026, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2026/1804, which amends Decision 2014/512/CFSP. |
|
(4) |
Decision (CFSP) 2026/1804 postpones the date of application of the mechanism for amending the crude oil price cap. Council Decision (CFSP) 2025/1495 (4) established a procedure for adjusting that price cap by reference to the average market price of Russian crude oil. That postponement is intended to provide the Council with additional time to examine and adopt any amendment that might be necessary in light of market developments, thereby ensuring an orderly and well-considered decision-making process. |
|
(5) |
These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary. |
|
(6) |
Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 3n of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, the following paragraph is added:
‘11a. The application of the procedure to amend the price cap set out in paragraph 11 of this Article, including the calculation of the average market price of Russian crude oil over a period of 22 weeks, the publication of a notice of that average market price and the amendment of Annex XXVIII, shall be postponed so that the publication by the Commission of a notice of that average market price referring to the period of 22 weeks from 15 January to 17 June 2026 shall take place on 23 July 2026 and the amendment of Annex XXVIII shall apply from 15 August 2026. The current price cap shall continue to apply until the date of application of the new price cap.’.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 16 July 2026.
For the Council
The President
T. BYRNE
