WASHINGTON, 22 Aug — RIA Novosti. The U.S. Congress has published on its website the draft law on sanctions against Iran and Russia, voting on which will take place in the house of representatives on July 25.
The document was submitted to the lower house of Congress July 12 — exactly a month after it was proposed by the upper house. The U.S. Senate approved the text on 15 June.
The bill, in particular, proposes to reduce the maximum term of market financing of Russian banks under sanctions, up to 14 days, and of the companies subjected to the oil and gas sector — up to 30 days.
The document also suggests that the US President can impose sanctions on persons who intend to invest in the construction of Russian export pipelines over $ 5 million per year or a million dollars at a time, or going to provide projects, services, technology or to provide information support.
