Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:44:21 GMT

The European Commission welcomes the provisional political agreement reached on 12 December between the European Parliament and the Council on the Commission's December 2022 proposal to harmonize criminal offences and penalties for the violation of EU restrictive measures.  While the Russian aggression against Ukraine is ongoing, it is paramount that EU restrictive measures are fully implemented and the violation of those measures is punished.Once adopted, the new rules will harmonize the relevant criminal offences related to violation of sanctions and penalties for those offences across the EU and make it easier to investigate and prosecute such violations in all member states in the same way. They will also establish the same level of penalties in all member states, closing existing legal loopholes and increasing the deterrent effect of violating EU sanctions in the first place.The European Parliament and the Council will now have to formally adopt the political agreement.

When West discarded, South shrugged and conceded a club and a spade. Down one.NOWHEREWest’s bid of two diamonds was silly; after East passed one spade, the deal belonged to North-South, and East-West were going nowhere. Moreover, West’s bid gave South some instructions on how to make four hearts.After South draws trumps, he can lead the deuce of spades to dummy’s queen. He takes the A-K of clubs and exits with the king of spades: ace, three, jack. Then West must lead a diamond, conceding a ruf...
