Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 was amended to:
- include 31 new entities to the list of natural or legal persons, entities or bodies, namely the list of persons, entities and bodies supporting Russia’s military and industrial complex in its war of aggression against Ukraine, on which tighter export restrictions regarding dual-use goods and technology, as well as goods and technology which might contribute to the technological enhancement of Russia’s defence and security sector, are imposed.
- also include on that list certain entities in third countries other than Russia that indirectly contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancement thereby enabling the circumvention of export restrictions, including on unmanned aerial vehicles or computer numerical control machine tools.
- expand the list of items which might contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancement or to the development of its defence and security sector by listing items which have been used by Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine and items which contribute to the development or production of its military systems, including chemical precursors to energetic materials and spare parts for machine tools,
- extend the duration of an exemption from the oil price cap which allows, in view of energy security concerns, the transport, by vessel, of crude oil originating in the Sakhalin-2 Project in Russia to Japan,
- adds 189 vessels to the list of vessels, which are banned from accessing Member States’ ports and locks, as well as from receiving a broad range of services related to maritime transport.
