Recital 8

(8) Recently, Russian courts have issued decisions based on Article 248 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation that prohibit the initiation or continuation of proceedings in foreign courts or tribunals on the part of European companies against Russian companies (anti-suit injunctions) and have issued, inter alia, disproportionately high financial penalties in cases of failure to comply. The Union considers that the manner in which Russian courts issue such anti-suit injunctions and fines is in clear violation of established international principles and long-standing practices in the resolution of international business disputes. In order to prevent efforts by claimants to enforce such anti-suit injunctions or fines, or any other court decision based on Article 248 or equivalent Russian legislation, Decision (CFSP) 2024/3187 introduces a prohibition on the recognition or enforcement in the Union of injunctions, orders, judgments or other court decisions pursuant to or in relation to Article 248 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation or equivalent Russian legislation.
