Compliance Cafe February

The field of international sanctions is developing fast, posing challenges to compliance professionals. The next edition of Compliance cafe will take place on Friday, 25th February at 18.00 CET and elaborate on all of the following pressing questions:

1. The ECJ Bank Melli decision and the fight against US extraterritoriality;

2. Current developments in the UK sanctions regime and its interplay with the EU one;

3. The nascent EU sanctions regime – does it have the teeth to bite?

4. The Ukrainian crisis and sanctions regime against Russia – current state of affairs and some predictions;

5. How organisations might ensure compliance with international sanctions?

6. Unintended effects of international sanctions. What are the consequences for other stakeholders – i.e. the employees of sanctioned persons, minority shareholders, national authorities and local communities?
