EU launch a Sanctions Tracker?

What is the sanctions tracker?

• The sanctions tracker is a tool created to monitor and analyse financial sanctions (asset freezes and the prohibition of making funds and economic resources available) and travel restrictions adopted by the EU.

What data sources are used?

• The sanctions tracker is built on two datasets:
  1. The consolidated list of persons, groups, and entities subject to EU financial sanctions and
  2. The consolidated list of persons subject, under EU sanctions, to travel restrictions managed by the Commission Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union.

What sanctions are shown on the sanction tracker?

• The data used in the sanction tracker reflects the latest updates found in the consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to EU financial sanctions and in the consolidated list of persons subject, under EU sanctions, to travel restrictions, as updated by the Commission.
• The latest version of these files is used, and each shows only current listings.
• As such, the tracker will not show individuals and entities subject to sanctions in the past but have since been delisted or sanctions regimes under which all the individuals and entities subject to sanctions have been delisted.

How has the data been processed?

• The two datasets have been merged using an individual identifier to identify the same entries across both datasets.
• This was done so the real number of persons subject to EU sanctions could be counted, regardless of whether they appear in one or both of the two consolidated lists.
• However, individuals and entities may still be counted twice as some individuals/entities are listed under more than one sanctions regime.

What searches are possible?

• You can search for any regime or nationality through the main search field.
• You can

1. Type either the abbreviation of the country concerned (e.g. AFG), or the full name (e.g. Afghanistan).
2. Look at the nationalities and regimes pages for a complete list of names and abbreviations.
3. Search for multiple regimes at once, where all the regimes you have searched for will be shown together.
4. Search for one or more nationalities to analyse how different citizenships have been targeted by the EU sanctions regimes.
5. Search for multiple nationalities and multiple regimes, which will return each combination of nationality and regime present in the search, combined.
   • For example, searching for nationality 'Syrian' and “chemical weapons” and 'Al-Qaeda' regimes will show you the subset of the dataset that corresponds to individuals of Syrian citizenship who are subject to asset freezes or travel restrictions under either of those regimes.

6.Search for specific individuals and entities.

How often are the consolidated lists and the sanctions tracker updated?

• The data is updated regularly and reflects the latest updates found in the consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to EU financial sanctions and in the consolidated list of persons subject, under EU sanctions, to travel restrictions, as managed by the Commission.
