(1) 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.

(2) On XX YY 2022, the Council adopted Decision XXXX amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP that introduced 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. 

(3) These amendments fall within the scope of the Treaty and therefore regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application in all Member States.

(4) Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,
