EU AMENDS SOUTH SUDAN SANCTIONS LIST – NO CHANGE IN NAMES AFFECTED

On 13^th August, the EU published EU Regulation 2018/1115/EU which amended the sanctions regime concerning South Sudan sanctions list – Malek REUBEN RIAK RENGU and Paul MALONG AWAN are moved from Annex II to Annex I of EU Regulation 2015/735/EU.  This followed the adoption of UN SCR 2428 on 13^th July, and Annex I of the 2015 Regulation imposes sanctions on persons, entities and bodies designated by the UN.

Meanwhile, EU Regulation 2018/1116/EU amends the 2015 Regulation amends the exemptions to the arms embargo and related technical and financial assistance and amends the designation criteria for the persons and entities subject to the asset freeze, in the light of UN changes.
