The limitations of the current EU restrictive measures (sanctions) regimes
Results from the KLEPTOTRACE Deliberable 4.1
EU Sanctions Regime: outlook and constraints
One of the main objectives of KLEPTOTRACE is to assess the current EU sanctions regimes and their enforcement at national level, and to propose policy and legal recommendations. This activity is being carried out under Work Package 4, led by the University of Luxembourg.
As a first milestone of this activity, the University of Luxembourg has analysed the legal constraints imposed by both international and EU law on the adoption and use of EU restrictive measures. First, we outlined the legal and institutional frameworks and objectives underpinning their adoption and implementation. We then analysed the EU’s practice of using restrictive measures as a foreign policy tool. Finally, we examined the legal constraints on the use of EU restrictive measures and the challenges they pose.
The analysis also aims to understand the role and feasibility of a new sanctions regime against high-level corruption activities. This is currently under discussion in the EU, following a proposal by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, endorsed by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and supported by the European Commission.
Next deliverable expected in Nov. 2024: “Legal and policy recommendations on EU and national sanction regime”
