Sharing sanctions expertise
What? Multi-day technical meeting between U.S. and EU partners to exchange best practices and strengthen working relationships.
When? 26-28 April 2023
Why? The purpose of the meeting was to give those at the forefront of sanctions design, implementation and compliance, a space to share expertise. OFAC, the EEAS, and DG FISMA identified ways to align the implementation of sanctions, promote compliance, strengthen enforcement, and address shared foreign policy challenges. The teams also explored methods to ensure that sanctions do not prevent humanitarian trade and assistance from reaching those in need and that people in sanctioned jurisdictions preserve their internet freedom.
