据最新消息：欧盟很可能会同意，在7月1日以前暂时解除欧洲保险公司为伊朗原油运输服务提供保险的禁令。迫于韩国，印度，中国和日本等国家的施压，欧盟针对伊朗禁令的态度在本周的讨论中有所缓和，并将于今天达成协议。
根据协议，在7月1日以前，非欧盟国家的买方可以继续从伊朗购买并运输石油，安排货物和运输保险。除非另有决议，7月1日终止该暂时解除禁令的协议。

This proposal will allow buyers in non EU countries to purchase and carry oil shipments until the 1st July as insurances on cargo and ships would be permissible. This exemption is allowed until 1st July and unless there is another decision there will be no The EU decided last Friday to agree to the exemption for insurances on shipments of Iran oil to non EU countries to be permitted until the 1st July.
