German Foreign Ministry spokesman Christopher Burger said that the European Commission intends to consider ideas on measures to respond to economic sanctions by the United States by the end of the year. The proposals imply the formation of an EU export bank up to the creation of a digital euro. This will allow the EU to be independent from the US financial system. Moreover, the «pan-European instrument» should enable the European Union to respond to sanctions with retaliatory sanctions as a last resort. Also among the discussed measures – restrictions on the import of mobile phones from China.
