Europeans refused to pay for Russian oil

20 May 2019 4

One of the largest European oil and gas companies - French Total and Italian Eni - announced the suspension of payments for Russian oil. The refusal is due to the supply by Russia of low-quality raw materials with an excessive content of chlorine and its derivatives.

We are not obligated to pay for oil that is not even oil. In addition, Russia is evading answers to questions about who and when will pay compensation,

- said in one of the companies on condition of anonymity.

It is reported that the payment to Russian accounts should have arrived 5 days ago, but this did not happen. According to experts, buyers can indeed refuse to pay for Russian deliveries, because the goods did not meet the quality stipulated in the contracts. However, according to Russian laws, the consumer must first pay for deliveries, albeit not of high-quality oil, and only then seek compensation, if provided.

We rely on the law. They must first pay and then file a claim for damages,

- a source at a Russian oil company told Reuters.

Recall that in the middle of last month it became known about severe pollution of Russian oil supplied to the near and far abroad via the Druzhba pipeline. The first to fall was Belarus, which was forced to stop the reception of low-quality raw materials, as well as close refineries for maintenance.

And what, someone calls it an accidental theft? No, this is a deeply thought-out operation of the American special services, our "effective managers" were paid, they pumped all sorts of crap into the pipeline, knowing full well that it would still be found out, but for them papers that do not smell are much more expensive than the country's image and trade prestige , which our liberal creatures do not care about ..... Do not feel sorry for the pockets of all sorts of Alikperovs and Millers, we still won't get anything from there, but it's a shame for the state when any scum sells it on the vine, arranging all these sabotage, be it oil , or our Superjets, etc.

Here are just such bonded rules apply to Russian consumers, and the rest of the world does not pay for low-quality goods and requires compensation, which is much fairer ...

For such a puncture with chlorine, you need to disperse the entire senior management of Rosneft with their billions of bonuses, to recover all losses from them personally and to recruit normal managers with real salaries that will simply do their job.

  I have not read specifically the contracts of Rosneft, according to which they drive oil to Europe, but the formula "pay and then make claims" is not Russian law and not only for Russian consumers, in Europe everything works the same way: there is a contract - pay do not like something - make a claim, but after payment. Nobody accepts claims for unpaid goods. It is for information only...
  In all other respects, I completely agree with you. I would say more - not just to disperse, but to solder the terms with confiscation ... this is not just a mess, but it smells of anti-state activity ...
