14th Russia sanctions package adopted in Coreper
The ambassadors of the EU member states have agreed in Coreper on the 14th package of sanctions against Russia for the war in Ukraine, a “powerful and substantial” package, according to the Belgian rotating presidency.
According to diplomatic sources, Italy has worked to ensure the adoption of measures to protect European companies damaged by the retaliations decided by Russia in response to EU sanctions. In particular, two types of remedies are provided, depending on the case, so that damaged companies can take legal action to be compensated. On the one hand, European companies can turn to the courts of the Member States to request compensation for damages suffered in cases initiated in third countries by Russian entities or entities controlled by Russians for contracts or transactions whose execution has been affected by European sanctions.
On the other hand, European companies can bring cases in the courts of the Member States to request compensation for damages caused by Russian entities who have benefited from the Russian provisions of temporary administration.
