Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine gives effect to restrictive measures provided for in Decision 2014/145/CFSP.

On XXX 2022, the Council adopted Decision XXXX amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP that introduces further derogation options from the asset freeze and the prohibition to make funds and economic resources available to designated persons and entities. It is also appropriate to clarify and strengthen the provisions on national penalties for the breach of the measures in that Regulation.

Further action by the Union is needed in order to give effect to these measures in Union law.

The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission propose to amend Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 accordingly.
