EU’s 20th sanctions package – What it means for industrial companies
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has lasted nearly 1,500 days
EU has introduced multiple sanctions packages and has
recently proposed the 20th sanctions package, targeting:
- Energy: Tougher measures on Russian oil and energy,
stricter action on the “shadow fleet” and EU-based
maritime services.
- Finance: New sanctions on Russian banks and financial
actors aiding circumvention.
- Trade/Export: Wider export bans on high-tech and dual-
use goods, plus more limits on steel, metals and
chemicals.
- Listings: More individuals, companies and vessels face
travel bans and asset freezes.
- Circumvention: Stronger focus on third-country actors
helping Russia evade sanctions.
By using effective screening, companies can identify high-risk counterparts and ensure sanctions compliance.
