EU imposes new sanctions against annexation of Crimea

Trade embargo, bans on investment and tourist services

18 December, 14:46
(ANSA) - BRUSSELS - From today, it's forbidden for EU stakeholders to make any investment in Crimea, to offer tourist services - even docking EU cruise ships in the port of Sevastopol -, to export some products in transport, telecommunications and energy sectors. These are the main new sanctions approved by the EU. This decision - a press release issued by the EU Council reported - has been made in accordance with the statements made by the EU foreign ministers on Monday.

It is aimed at ''strengthening the EU policy of non-recognition of the illegal annexation ''of the Crimea peninsula and Sevastopol'' by Russia. ''These new sanctions are in addition to measures already taken in June and July''. (ANSA).
