CERNOBBIO, September 2. /TASS/. Russian Finance Ministry suggests increasing the tax burn for the oil sector but the government has not yet approved such proposals, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said on Friday.

"The Finance Ministry suggests that," the official said.

"However, proposals of the Finance Ministry have not been approved yet at the government level because they require detailed calculations and discussion of consequences for investments in the oil sector and for gasoline prices. We will discuss all that," the official said.
