Abstract

The current EU sanctions policy over 18 months showed its potential, including the negative effect on the major European economies. The article analyzes these developments as well as special features of the 11th sanctions package, aimed at strengthening the control of previously imposed barriers and limiting Russia's ability to avoid sanctions with help of third countries. Based on the example of Germany, the article analyzes the instruments used by the EU and the discussion that business and political circles are conducting in search of cost and risk reduction. It notes a fundamentally new ability of the EU to not only impose individual sanctions, but also suspend the import of sanctioned goods into countries violating sanctions in general.
