Recital 17

(17) Those zones include the Special Economic Zones (SEZ), innovation regimes and the Far Eastern and Arctic preferential regimes, as defined in Russian laws such as Federal Law No. 116-FZ of 22 July 2005, Federal Law No. 244-FZ of 28 September 2010, Federal Law No. 212-FZ of 13 July 2015 and Federal Law No. 193-FZ of 13 July 2020. Certain SEZ and innovation regimes are central to Russia’s industrial and technological capacity, hosting enterprises engaged in the production or development of dual-use goods, advanced electronics, robotics, software, vehicles, aviation components, unmanned aerial systems and other goods and technology contributing to the Russian war effort. Preferential regimes in the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic Zone support maritime logistics, shipbuilding, the mining and petrochemicals sectors and energy export routes that are central to Russia’s economic reorientation towards Asia, as well as to the circumvention of restrictive measures.
