Brussels: Europe and the Arabs
On Monday, the European Union adopted a decision to extend the current restrictive measures against ISIS, Al-Qaeda and natural and legal persons, groups, institutions and entities associated with them for another year, until October 31, 2024.
A European statement said on the sidelines of the meetings of foreign ministers of member states that began this morning in Luxembourg, “The sanctions regime currently in effect applies to 14 individuals and 5 groups. Those targeted are subject to an asset freeze and a travel ban to the European Union. In addition, persons and entities in the European Union are prohibited Providing funds, financial assets, or economic resources to those included within the sanctions regime.
These independent restrictive measures complement those imposed by the UN Security Council against ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
The European Union remains committed to acting against those who threaten international peace and security by planning, financing and carrying out terrorist attacks and spreading terrorist propaganda globally.
The decision will enter into force the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
