These measures target high-value sectors of the Russian economy and make it more difficult to circumvent EU sanctions, including: prohibition on the direct or indirect import, purchase or transfer of diamonds including jewellery from Russia;
no-Russia clause, a new contractual clause which applies to EU exporters and bans the re-exportation to Russia and re-exportation for use in Russia of certain goods;
strengthening bilateral and multilateral cooperation with third countries to impede sanctions’ circumvention;
tighter export restrictions concerning dual use goods and technologies;
enforcement of oil price cap;
further restrictions on imports of goods which generate significant revenues for Russia such as pig iron, copper and aluminium wires, foil tubes and pipes;
prohibition on the import of liquefied propane.
