Guidelines

Background information
To an increasing degree, the EU applies the implementation of restrictive measures against third countries, including financial sanctions. After the terrorist attacks on the USA on 11 September 2001, the international community introduced restrictive measures against terrorism, with growing focus on the consequences of, in particular, the financial sanctions against terrorism.

Objective
The objective of this set of guidelines is to provide guidance, relating to restrictive financial measures, for enterprises, individuals and authorities in Denmark. The guidelines aim primarily to assist the individuals, enterprises and authorities that implement freezing of funds and economic resources, as well as the individuals and enterprises subject to the imposition of freezing.

The Guidelines describes the obligations and rights that proceed from imposition of freezing. The Guidelines endeavours to provide a step-by-step description of the measures that implementing and being subject to imposition of freezing are obligated or permitted to take.

Links in the Guidelines
The Guidelines make reference to, among other things, the “EU Best Practices for the effective implementation of restrictive measures (sanctions)” and “Guidelines on implementation and evaluation of restrictive measures (sanctions) in the framework of EU Common Foreign and Security Policy”.
