SANCTIONS UPDATE – EU Decides on Further Restrictive Measures

The Foreign Affairs Council decided yesterday 17 November 2014 on further restrictive measures to be taken in order to stabilize the situation in Ukraine.

The Council called on the European External Action Service and the Commission to present a proposal on additional listings targeting separatists. A decision is due by the end of this month.

It was not determined whether the new sanctions will amend the already effective Council Regulations or if a new Regulation will be issued due to this addition.
