Understanding Ownership and Control in EU Sanctions Compliance

A shadowy figure controlling a businessman like a puppet

The EU Sanctions Helpdesk has just published a practical resource aimed at helping small businesses and sanctions professionals understand how ownership and control of business counterparties can affect sanctions obligations.

The article explores key concepts, common challenges, and real-world implications for businesses operating in complex regulatory environments. It’s part of the EU Sanctions Compliance Helpdesk initiative; funded by the European Unions it supports SMEs and other stakeholders in navigating EU sanctions law.

If you’re working in compliance, legal advisory, or international trade, I hope you’ll find it useful.
