Recent international developments have broad implications for economic sanctions and export control regulation, posing a whole range of new challenges for European businesses. E.g. will the new US administration stick to or break with established US trade control policies and what could be the implications for our trade with Russia and Iran? Can we predict the consequences of a ‘hard Brexit’ and will it be possible for EU companies to anticipate? These, and more, questions call for an update on trade controls from both a US and EU perspective.
The seminar specifically aims at pinpointing important developments and showing the practical consequences for day-to-day business in the field of economic sanctions and export controls, both from a US and EU law perspective.
