  G. Comments of a general nature, including a description of the elimination of 
restrictions notified under D.2.2 and the date they ceased to be in force.  
This notification communicates the introduction of quantitative restrictions by Australia, to 
apply to the import and export of certain goods between Australia and the Russian 
Federation. These prohibitions are implemented under Australia’s Autonomo us Sanctions Act 
2011 and Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 and are a response to Russia 's illegal 
invasion of Ukraine. They are necessary for the protection of Australia 's essential security 
interests. Russia 's actions are a gross violation of interna tional law, including the Charter of 
the United Nations. They violate Ukraine 's sovereignty and territorial integrity and undermine 
the rules -based international order. Australia is committed to upholding these principles, 
which are essential to internatio nal, regional and domestic stability and security.
