EEAS records Kallas describing support for a settlement-trade ban.
Summary
Historical attribution to the EEAS written record of Kaja Kallas dated 13 July 2026, marked Check against delivery. This verifies the published wording, not delivery of the speech or independent proof of the underlying assertions. The same record lists full or partial import bans, export licensing and tariffs as options. It says ambassadors were tasked to continue work, an extraordinary meeting was possible, and a unified position had not yet been achieved. The Q&A describes competing views on unanimity and qualified-majority voting. Support for an option does not establish adoption, entry into force, implementation, or the present legal status of any trade restriction. The characterization of settlements is attributed to this EU policy record; this entry makes no independent legal finding.
