The College of European Commissioners on Tuesday, December 12, is going to approve the proposal of the European Commission and the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to freeze the proceeds of the assets of the Russian central bank. This was announced during a briefing in Brussels on Monday by the official representative of the European Commission, Eric Mamer, UNN reports .

I can announce the agenda of the board for tomorrow. The panel will adopt the proposal of the European Commission and the High Representative to freeze the proceeds of the assets of the Russian central bank

, Mamer said.

As a reminder, on June 30, it was reportedthat EU leaders supported a plan to tax the profits of more than 200 billion euros generated by the assets of the Russian central bank to help rebuild Ukraine after the war.

It has been noted that the European Union is considering imposing a tax on interest earned from frozen Russian money, which could raise about 3 billion euros a year to rebuild Ukraine after the war.
