The European Union needs a unified approach to ensuring compliance with sanctions, in which common rules and the sanctions effect are formed at the EU level, while the identification of specific violations remains within the competence of national authorities.
This was stated in a comment to Guildhall by Danish Member of Parliament Lars-Christian Brask.
“Common rules, a common effect of sanctions — this is what arises when they are actually imposed by the entire EU,” Lars-Christian Brask said, commenting on the distribution of powers between the national and European levels in matters of sanctions policy.
At the same time, he emphasized that “first, the violation must be identified at the national level, because that is where the most complete information is concentrated, records are kept, and so on.”
According to the Danish parliamentarian, “everything begins at the national level,” and “sanctions will also be applied at the national level.” At the same time, he noted that it is at the level of the European Union that common rules are formed and the overall effect of restrictive measures is achieved.
Earlier, Bulgarian Member of the European Parliament Radan Kanev stated that expanding the powers of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office could strengthen pan-European investigative mechanisms, including in the areas of sanctions violations and large-scale corruption. At the same time, he noted that such a reform would require time, since the creation of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office itself took more than 10 years.
