The EU adopted a new package of sanctions on Russia

December 18, 2023

The Council adopted a twelfth package of economic and individual restrictive measures in view of the continued Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

These measures target high-value sectors of the Russian economy and make it more difficult to circumvent EU sanctions.

 

 

The agreed package includes the following measures:

  • prohibition on the direct or indirect import, purchase or transfer of diamonds including jewellery from Russia
  • no russia clause (a new clause which applies to EU exporters and bans the re-exportation to Russia and re-exportation for use in Russia of certain goods)
  • strengthening bilateral and multilateral cooperation with third countries to impede sanctions’ circumvention
  • tighter export restrictions concerning dual use goods and technologies
  • enforcement of oil price cap
  • further restrictions on imports of goods which generate significant revenues for Russia such as; pig iron, copper and aluminium wires, foil tubes and pipes
  • prohibition on the import of liquefied propane
