COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2025/398

of 24 February 2025

amending Regulation (EU) 2022/263 concerning restrictive measures in response to the illegal recognition, occupation or annexation by the Russian Federation of certain non-government controlled areas of Ukraine

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision (CFSP) 2025/396 of 24 February 2025 amending Decision (CFSP) 2022/266 concerning restrictive measures in response to the illegal recognition, occupation or annexation by the Russian Federation of certain non-government controlled areas of Ukraine [(1)](#ntr1-L_202500398EN.000101-E0001),

Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

Whereas:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | On 23 February 2022, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2022/263 [(2)](#ntr2-L_202500398EN.000101-E0002). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | Regulation (EU) 2022/263 gives effect to certain measures provided for in Council Decision (CFSP) 2022/266 [(3)](#ntr3-L_202500398EN.000101-E0003). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | On 24 February 2025 the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2025/396, which amends Decision (CFSP) 2022/266. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | Decision (CFSP) 2025/396 prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, the supply to the non-government controlled areas of Ukraine in the oblasts of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia (the ‘non-government controlled areas’) of banknotes denominated in any official currency of a Member State. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (5) | Decision (CFSP) 2025/396 introduces restrictions on the export to the non-government controlled areas of certain goods and technology that are also restricted by Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 [(4)](#ntr4-L_202500398EN.000101-E0004). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (6) | Decision (CFSP) 2025/396 prohibits the provision to the non-government controlled areas of accounting, auditing, bookkeeping, tax consulting, business and management consulting, public relations, construction, architectural, engineering, legal advisory, IT consultancy, market research and public opinion polling, technical testing and analysis and advertising services. It also prohibits the provision to the non-government controlled areas of certain software for the management of enterprises and software for industrial design and manufacture, and of related intellectual property rights or trade secrets. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (7) | For the purposes of ensuring effective implementation, preventing circumvention and strengthening enforcement of the restrictive measures set out in Regulation (EU) 2022/263, as well as protecting Union operators, it is appropriate to introduce a number of horizontal provisions and to amend the wording of certain existing provisions. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (8) | In order to ensure alignment with the interpretation of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-72/11 [(5)](#ntr5-L_202500398EN.000101-E0005), Decision (CFSP) 2025/396 amends the provision prohibiting circumvention to clarify that the requirements of knowledge and intent are met not only where a person deliberately seeks the object or effect of circumventing restrictive measures but also where a person participating in an activity having the object or effect of circumventing restrictive measures is aware that such participation may have that object or that effect, and accepts that possibility. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (9) | Regulation (EU) 2022/263 applies only within the jurisdictional limits defined in Article 15 thereof. At the same time, if Union operators are able to and effectively assert a decisive influence over the conduct of a legal person, entity or body established outside the Union, they may incur responsibility for actions of that legal person, entity or body that undermine the restrictive measures and should use their influence to prevent those actions from occurring. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (10) | Such influence can derive from ownership or control over the legal person, entity or body. Ownership means being in possession of 50 % or more of the proprietary rights of the legal person, entity or body, or having a majority interest therein. Elements that indicate control include: the right or the power to appoint or remove a majority of the members of the administrative, management or supervisory body; the right to use all or part of the assets of the legal person, entity or body; managing the business of the legal person, entity or body on a unified basis, while publishing consolidated accounts; or the right to exercise a dominant influence over the legal person, entity or body. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (11) | It is appropriate to require that Union operators undertake their best efforts to ensure that legal persons, entities and bodies established outside the Union that they own or control do not participate in activities that undermine the restrictive measures provided for in Regulation (EU) 2022/263. Such activities are those resulting in an effect that those restrictive measures seek to prevent, for example, that a recipient in the non-government controlled areas obtains goods, technology, financing or services of a type that is subject to prohibitions under Regulation (EU) 2022/263. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (12) | Best efforts should be understood as comprising all actions that are suitable and necessary to achieve the result of preventing the undermining of the restrictive measures in Regulation (EU) 2022/263. Those actions can include, for example, the implementation of appropriate policies, controls and procedures to mitigate and manage risk effectively, considering factors such as the third country of establishment, the business sector and the type of activity of the legal person, entity or body that is owned or controlled by the Union operator. At the same time, best efforts should be understood as comprising only actions that are feasible for the Union operator in view of its nature, its size and the relevant factual circumstances, in particular the degree of effective control over the legal person, entity or body established outside the Union. Such circumstances include the situation where the Union operator, due to reasons that it did not cause itself, such as the legislation of a third country, is not able to exercise control over a legal person, entity or body that it owns. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (13) | With a view to increasing awareness of enforcement action, it is appropriate that Member States report about penalties imposed for violations of the restrictive measures. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (14) | Where a natural or legal person voluntarily, completely and in due time discloses a violation of the restrictive measures, it should be possible for national competent authorities to take that self-disclosure into account when applying penalties, as appropriate, in accordance with national administrative law or with other relevant national law or rules. The measures taken by Member States pursuant to Directive (EU) 2024/1226 of the European Parliament and of the Council [(6)](#ntr6-L_202500398EN.000101-E0006), and the requirements contained therein regarding mitigating circumstances apply. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (15) | It is appropriate to clarify that the protection against liability that is granted to Union operators if they did not know, and had no reasonable cause to suspect, that their actions would infringe Union restrictive measures cannot be invoked where Union operators have failed to carry out appropriate due diligence. It is appropriate for publicly or readily available information to be duly taken into account when carrying out such due diligence. Therefore, for example, a Union operator cannot successfully invoke such protection when it is accused of breaching the relevant restrictive measures because it has failed to carry out simple checks or inspections. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (16) | These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (17) | Regulation (EU) 2022/263 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
