(38)Council Decision (CFSP) 2022/884note and Council Regulation (EU) 2022/879note provide that Member States are to take all necessary measures to obtain supplies which are alternative to imports by pipeline of crude oil from Russia, so that those imports are made subject to the prohibitions as soon as possible. In line with this objective, the temporary derogation granted to Germany and Poland for the supply of crude oil by pipeline from Russia through the northern section of the Druzhba oil pipeline should end. The import of oil which originates in Kazakhstan or another third country and is transiting through Russia via the Druzhba oil pipeline is not prohibited.
