Description:
EU sanctions and export controls create complex compliance obligations- but how are they enforced across Member States, and what can businesses learn from recent cases?
Join us for a practical discussion of recent enforcement cases, the compliance weaknesses they highlight, and efforts by the EU to bring greater consistency to enforcement across its member states. We’ll explore differences in national approaches, the challenges of cross-border investigations, and what closer harmonisation could mean for businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions.
