doing a plan to impose a 12th set of functions on russia over its more in ukraine, as well as the existing measures covering everything from energy to banking. the new plan would introduce tougher reporting requirements. those would be designed to cracked and on the illegal purchase of russian oil, which is now commonly being traded above the $60.00 a barrel cap. the new sanctions would also impose restrictions on purchases of russian liquefied propane and potentially a bond on russian diamonds. the last proposal to crack down on russia's diamond exports would have an especially big impact on the belgian city of antoine, which has long been at the center of the global diamond trade. the world's largest diamond mines are here in northeastern siberia. it's a profitable business for the russian state own corporation. i'll rosa. in 2021. the company generated revenue of over 3000000000 euros. typically if the gemstones

extracted here are sent abroad as rough 9 man's often they end up in the european union. after months of negotiations, the u is finally moving to put sanctions on russian diamonds. the process of banning russian diamonds has taken months. the center of the global diamond trade is the belgian port city of and work. and so far, the belgian government has resisted those sanctions. dealers worry, the depression, diamonds are banned, the industry may relocate to somewhere like india. india is a rising player in the global diamond business. already 90 percent of the world's diamonds are being cutting, processed here. this new, a strange which claims to be the largest office building in the world reflects the ambitions of the indian diamond industry. traders in antwerp are skeptical the deal, repeating the sanctions will significantly harm russia. states,
5:47 pm
china, which is a major, major consume of diamonds, have absolutely no interest in that. then india, which is also me just to consume of diamonds. they have no interest in the event. i mean, they don't have no interest to know from where the students are. never being the case and most of the issue is there's no interest in india does not back that use sanctions. they'll be undermined because the origin of a diamond can only be traced and it's rough and cut state. later it's trailed, becomes blurred to make sanctions more effective. there are now calls for a better system for tracking the origin of diamonds, but right now loopholes in the documents proving where they came from. mean they continued to be put on the market. that's talk more about this with the w correspond terry schultz and brussels. terry diamonds are an interesting example of how functions can potentially backfire. where is the used on now when it comes to
5:48 pm
a potential bon? as well as was mentioned in that story, the european commission has proposed now for the 1st time to put russian diamonds on its sanctions list in this 12th package. and the reason it's so long coming is because belgium has successfully lobby to keep them off the menu in part for some of the problems that were, were mentioned in that piece about traceability of origin and, and dallas as to whether they could actually be effectively kept off the market and where it sees 90 percent of the world's diamonds come through there at one point or another. so you can see why this was such a huge issue for belgium. but now with the united states already having bound russian diamonds and the g 7 considering proposals, belgium has decided that it simply has to get on board. and it is in fact, for making some of these proposals itself as to how this would work. now a lot of this focuses on traceability on how to make sure that the diamonds, which would be bad, actually came from russia and to make sure that other countries aren't masking the
5:49 pm
origins in going ahead and trading them. so belgium is working on a proposal that would, would submit significantly focus on the traceability. and in fact, make belgium, perhaps the gatekeeper for the diamonds coming into the e. u and the g 7. so it clearly is not giving up it's perch at the top of the diamond tree, but simply trying to make sure that if these sanctions come into place, which could be so damaging to this country, that they are as air tight as possible. but there are a lot of complications i had in the sections package. as i said, it was just introduced last week. member states are now to make debating amongst themselves the diamond band is only part of the package. and of course, there are other countries against other parts of the package, and we're hearing that well, the commission would've liked this to be agreed already. it's unlikely that there wouldn't be complete unanimity until you leaders themselves come to brussels for a meeting and mid december. it's so complicated, isn't it? these next set of functions would be the 12. are they actually making a big difference to rushes for test? so well, certainly no one would say that they've made as big
5:50 pm
a difference as quickly as the european union or the united states or its allies. would like russia has, has resisted sort of the economic collapse that everyone would have liked to see when it comes to being able to fund its war on ukraine when it comes to diamonds. rushing, made for $1000000000.00 from the, from the diamond trade last year. so that would significantly significantly cut into the kremlin coffers. but one of the other things that the e u is looking at increasingly is the circumvention of its sanctions. now you mentioned earlier this a oil cap at $60.00 per barrel, and it's well known that shippers, insures and, and shipping companies are getting around that ban. so one of the things that you was looking at as it looks to impose new sanctions, is simply to enforce the sanctions that are already on the book. and they think that would go a long way toward keeping money out of rush is a rush's war test. and finally, terry, it's looking like the will not be able to deliver on its promise to military
5:51 pm
support for ukraine. how damaging could that be for keith? certainly that's something that we learned last week when it comes to this farm is to prove to provide $1000000.00 rounds of artillery of munition to ukraine last year. it has looked very unlikely for a long time. and finally, last week, the european unit admitted that it only delivered 300000 of these rounds so far with the deadline of march. so that certainly is news that's being taken uh, taken, you know, very with sadness and key because it, it very much needs that ammunition simply to keep up it to keep up. it's daily battle against russia. and there's, you know, there are bad signs from other capitals as well. washington is warning that it will not be able to sustain its military support for keep. so they are very much looking toward this new round of sanctions toward enforcing the air. tightness of the sanctions to at least if they're not being the, if the premiums are not being provided. everything they had hoped to get from the e. u that we'd like to at least keep money out of russian pockets. terry, so it's
