Recital 9

(9) In addition, Decision (CFSP) 2023/2874 permits Member States to allow the entry into the Union of personal effects which do not pose significant circumvention concerns, such as personal hygiene items, or clothing worn by travellers or contained in their luggage, and which are clearly intended for their or their family members’ strict personal use. It also provides for an exemption for cars that have a diplomatic vehicle registration plate to enter the Union and, in order to facilitate the entry into the Union of Union citizens living in Russia, permits Member States to authorise, under such conditions as they deem appropriate, the entry of cars of Union citizens or their immediate family members who are resident in Russia and are travelling into the Union, provided that the cars are not for sale and are driven for strict personal use. The situation of cars from Russia which are already in the territory of the Union may be regularised by Member States.
