Storyline
The European Commission on Friday adopted a proposal for a seventh package of measures that will ban the importation of Russian gold.
The proposal is part of a new set of measures that are intended to improve the implementation and effectiveness of the EU’s six earlier packages of sanctions against Russia.
In a statement, the Commission said the proposal will be discussed by the member states in the EU Council next week before it is adopted.
The proposal was issued jointly by the Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs.
The “maintenance and alignment” package clarifies earlier provisions to strengthen legal certainty for operators and enforcement by the member states. Among others, it proposes to tighten dual-use and advanced technology export controls.
It also aims to further align the EU’s sanctions with those of its allies and partners, especially the G7 countries.
The Commission stressed that EU sanctions do not target in any way the trade in agricultural products between third countries and Russia.
The next review of EU sanctions is scheduled at the end of January 2023.
