Yesterday, the EU Council “announced”:http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/EN/foraff/132833.pdf that it was placing additional sanctions on Iran.
Well, “here is”:http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:282:0016:0022:EN:PDF the implementing regulation. And “here is”:http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:282:0058:0069:EN:PDF the Council decision as it appeared in the official EU Journal.
The Annexes of these regulations always make for interesting reading because they provide details regarding the decision to sanction an entity that typically don’t appear in U.S. sanctions announcements.
