A New Approach to Secondary Sanctions in Europe: The Rise of Ancillary Listings

Description:

Europe has long disfavored secondary sanctions as an instrument of sanctions policy. However, despite extensive criticisms that secondary sanctions can be overly-expansive, recent EU listing practice suggests a growing acceptance of secondary sanctions as a legitimate policy tool.

In a recent groundbreaking law review article, Jeff Nielsen, Jan Dunin-Wasowicz, and Gonzalo Saiz couch the wide berth of prototypical secondary sanctions and apply them in their proper scope to EU listing practice. In this way, they craft an entire substantive legal framework unique to the European Union: so-called ‘ancillary listings’.

The paper has been enthusiastically received in EU member states and by EU policymakers in Brussels alike. Join us for a discussion digging into the paper’s findings and arguments.

Highlights of the webinar will include:

• What are prototypical secondary sanctions? Resolving the contentious debate on their true scope.

• How has the EU recently used this tool? Details on how the EU has sanctioned parties as a result of support for activities that undermine the efficacy of EU sanctions.

• Bringing it all together: a new term for EU practice – ancillary listings – and four discreet typologies based on EU practice.

• The future of ancillary listings in Europe and its potential impact on compliance suites.
