The European Chamber, the EU Delegation to China, the EU Sanctions Helpdesk and the EU SME Centre are pleased to invite you to our Interpreting the EU’s Toolbox episode 7: The EU’s Sanctions Framework, which will take place online on Friday, 19th September from 9:30 to 11:00 (Central European Time).
Although European-level sanctions have been in place since the 1980s, their relevance as a foreign policy instrument has increased hand in hand with their number in the past years, in particular following the start of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine in 2022. With more than 5000 individuals and entities currently listed, the EU’s sanctions framework is one of the world’s largest and most developed.
During this session, experts from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Financial Services and Capital Markets will provide an overview of the EU’s sanctions framework, including the most recent updates on relevant sanctions listings. Experts from the EU Sanctions Helpdesk will also present the services of the Helpdesk and share practical advice and tips on compliance for businesses.
