2024 AGENDA

We will cover the enhanced export control restrictions proposed in the EU’s recently published economic security strategy and China’s actions with rare materials critical to the semiconductor supply chain.

Join us as representatives from some of the top law enforcement and investigative agencies in Europe discuss how they tackle circumvention through third countries, diversion and transshipment. What is the current state of EU and G7 taskforces and other initiatives undertaken to improve sanctions enforcement, such as streamlining cooperation and harmonising national procedural rules?

• How has enforcement changed over the last year? Have recent cases altered the status quo of circumvention?
• What lessons can we still learn? And how can you, as a business or a bank, help to detect bad actors and prevent sanctions crime globally?
