Rasmussen Global has released a new policy paper, “Sanctions Enforcement Recommendations: Closing Loopholes and Building European Resilience.” The paper sets out actionable, technical steps for EU Member States to reinforce the effectiveness of sanctions against Russia, following the adoption of the 19th EU sanctions package.
On 23 October, these recommendations were presented to the RELEX counsellors: sanctions coordinators representing all 27 EU Member States. The proposals focus on:
- Building a common EU sanctions infrastructure
- Closing circumvention pathways exploited by Russian procurement networks
- Disrupting Russia’s access to high-tech military inputs and post-sale support
These measures are designed to help Ukraine today and strengthen Europe’s security for years to come. We invite policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to read the full paper and join the conversation on turning sanctions into real strategic pressure.
