European Union Maintains Sanctions against Belarusian Regime 10:20, 01/03/2007
The European Union is to prolong existing sanctions against Belarus and Uzbekistan. This decision has been reached at a session of standing official representatives of the EU member countries accredited in Brussels. As informed by ITAR-TASS, such a decree is to be discussed at a session of foreign ministers of the EU countries on March 5.
Under the imposed sanctions, arms deliveries to Uzbekistan are banned. Seven high-ranking officials of the country are blacklisted by the EU and banned entry to the EU countries. Sanctions against Uzbekistan have been imposed by the EU in May 2005 after Andizhan events.
Sanctions against Belarus are to continue for the next 12 months. In the framework of the sanctions assets of 34 Belarusian officials have been frozen. Their entry to the EU is banned as well.
In March the EU is to study a question of imposing economic sanctions on Belarus. For the Belarusian economy they could result in a loss of up to $600 million a year.
