Meanwhile, Denmark is trying to cover up a huge blunder where it tried to blame the Danish spy agency for leakimg confidential information about the state having made a deal with NSA, to let USA spy on their EU allies, through international data cables that crossed danish waters. Also trying to cover up that they had an undercover agent, that they now reject knowing, involved in terrorist organizations.

Danish politicians are like "we have had huge benefits from this cooperation with the US"....

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Copenhagen's mission will be backed by laws that allow states to inspect ships suspected of posing an environmental threat.

Denmark will be tasked with inspecting and potentially blocking Russian oil tankers sailing through its waters under new European Union plans, according to reports.

The north European nation would target tankers without Western insurance, under laws that allow states to check vessels they fear pose an environmental threat.

Western officials have admitted that “almost none” of Moscow's crude exports were sold below the $60 a barrel cap last month, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

Instructing Denmark to inspect Russian oil tankers is likely to be one of the measures within the EU's new package of sanctions, which will be presented to member states' foreign ministers on Wednesday.

G7 countries, the EU and Australia imposed its $60 per barrel cap on Russian crude exports last December due to the conflict in Ukraine.


The original article contains 412 words, the summary contains 150 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
