Ebook: Strict and Uniform : Improving EU Sanctions Enforcement

For as long as the EU has been using sanctions as a foreign policy
instrument, countering violations has been a challenge. With the

institutions
and member states must find ways to ensure stricter
and more uniform enforcement to deter violations, enhance efficiency,
and ensure a more level playing field for economic actors.
The stakes are high: the success of the EU’s response to Russia’s
military aggression hinges largely on effective sanctions, and the
long-term legitimacy of the tool itself depends on its enforcement.
