Article 19 — Further use of the confiscated property

1. Member States are encouraged to take the necessary measures to allow the possibility of using confiscated property, where appropriate, for public interest or social purposes. 2. Without prejudice to applicable international law, Member States may use the instrumentalities, proceeds or property confiscated in relation to the offences referred to in Directive (EU) 2024/1226 to contribute to mechanisms to support third countries affected by situations in response to which Union restrictive measures have been adopted, in particular in cases of war of aggression. The Commission may provide guidance on the arrangements for such contributions.
