ロ産石油価格「今の半分に」　Ｇ７上限設定、岸田首相が見通し

　岸田文雄首相は３日、先進７カ国（Ｇ７）が対ロシア制裁の一環で検討している同国産石油の取引価格への上限設定に関し、上限は現行価格の半額程度になるとの見通しを明らかにした。ウクライナ侵攻を続けるロシアの戦費を細らせるのが狙いだ。
　上限設定の検討は、先月下旬にドイツで開かれたＧ７首脳会議（サミット）で合意された。首相は東京都内での街頭演説で、「ロシア産石油は今の半分程度の価格を上限とし、それ以上では国際社会で買わない仕組みをつくる」と語った。（2022/07/03-14:34）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Sunday that under a Group of Seven-proposed price cap mechanism for imports of Russian oil, the upper limit is expected to be set at a level about a half of the current import prices.
   The mechanism, mulled by the G-7 major powers as part of their sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, is intended to bring down Russia's resources for spending for the war.
   In a stump speech in Tokyo, Kishida said, "We'll create a mechanism in which the international community will not buy Russian oil at prices higher than the upper limit."
   Partly due to sanctions imposed on Russia by the G-7, which groups Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States plus the European Union, energy prices have been soaring across the world. As a result, even though the volume of Russia's oil exports has dropped, the country's related revenue is said not to have decreased. One analysis says Russia's average energy export price has climbed about 60 pct year on year.
