On Friday, Her Majesty's Treasury implemented the changes to Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2104 made by Council Regulation (EU) No 960/2014. These are:
-
Article 1(5) of Council Regulation (EU)960/2014 replaces Article 5 of EU Regulation
833/2014 with a new measure which imposes restrictions on:
-
transferable securities and money market instruments issued by Russian
banks, military equipment firms and oil firms listed in the Annex to this
Notice. [See new Article 5 of Regulation 833].
-
loans to any of the entities listed in the Annex to this Notice. There are limited
exceptions to this prohibition. [See new Article 5 of Regulation 833].
-
-
Where a legal person, entity or body is owned or acting on behalf of or at the
direction of an entity listed in the Annex to this Notice, they may also be subject to
these restrictions. [See new Article 5 of Regulation 833].
-
It should also be noted that Article 1(1) replaces the definition of “brokering” with
“investment services” and provides a new definition of “transferable securities”.
So, the types of restrictions is becoming more uniform on both sides of the Atlantic…
