The EU Energy Ban features transitory periods for preexisting contracts and other exceptions. For contracts concluded before June 4, 2022, EU persons may continue conducting the following transactions, provided that the relevant Member State satisfies EU notification requirements:

*** A temporary exception is foreseen for imports of CN 2709 00 crude oil by pipeline into those EU member states that, due to their geographic situation, suffer from a specific dependence on Russian supplies and have no viable alternative options.
Bulgaria will also benefit from temporary derogations concerning the import of Russian seaborne crude oil.
Temporary derogations allowing the importation of seaborne crude oil are also available to landlocked Member States whose supply of crude oil by pipeline is interrupted for reasons outside of the Member State’s control.
The EU measure contains specific derogations for the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Croatia.
The ban does not apply to seaborne crude oil originating from third countries but are loaded in, depart from, or transit through Russia, provided that the origin and owner of the products are non-Russian.

For seaborne crude oil, spot market transactions and execution of existing contracts will be permitted for 6 months after entry into force.
Member States who have a particular pipeline dependency on Russia can benefit from a temporary exemption and continue to receive crude oil delivered by pipeline, until the Council decides otherwise. However, Member States benefiting from this exemption will not be able to resell such crude oil and petroleum products to other Member States or third countries.

Due to its specific geographical exposure, a special temporary derogation until the end of 2024 has been agreed for Bulgaria which will be able to continue to import crude oil and petroleum products via maritime transport. Croatia will be able to authorise until the end of 2023 the import of Russian vacuum gas oil which is needed for the functioning of its refinery.
