Report: EU may mull new anti-Russian steps over Siemens turbunes

MOSCOW, Jul 24 (PRIME) – The E.U. may discuss scaling up of the sanctions against Russia on Germany’s proposal because of a scandal surrounding the shipment of Siemens-produced turbines to Crimea, Reuters reported on Monday, citing diplomatic sources.

Siemens said last week that all four turbines meant to be used on Russian power plant on the Taman Peninsula were illegally shipped to Crimea, forcing the company to cancel its licensing agreements to sell power equipment to Russian firms and suspend the current agreements with state-run companies.
