Sanctions
Compliance with EU sanctions regulations is challenging. Over 30 sanctions regimes exist. They consist of measures designed to target terrorism, nuclear proliferation activities, human rights violations, or the annexation of foreign territory, for instance. Examples of sanctions are the freezing of assets belonging to listed persons or entities, or economic sanctions affecting specific sectors of the economy of a country, such as a ban on importing or exporting certain goods from or to particular countries.
Sanctions are governed by current affairs and political developments. As a result, they are subject to frequent change and extension. In addition, new sanctions keep being introduced. At the same time, implementation of sanctions regulations is gaining more and more attention from your supervisors. Enforcement is increasing.
