Recital 29

(29) At present, claims against Union companies complying with restrictive measures can be brought by legal persons, entities or bodies other than Russian legal persons, entities or bodies, by persons other than those listed in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, or by persons other than those acting on their behalf or at their direction, for instance when Union operators discontinue their supply to natural and legal persons in third countries other than Russia of products the export of which to Russia is prohibited. Decision (CFSP) 2026/508 therefore strengthens the Union’s framework of restrictive measures by extending the scope of the prohibition on the satisfaction of such claims in connection with any contract or transaction the performance of which has been affected, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by Union restrictive measures. The scope of the prohibition in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 on the satisfaction of such claims should therefore also be extended to cover claims brought by natural or legal persons, entities or bodies established in third countries other than Russia and partner countries listed in the relevant annex, where those natural or legal persons, entities or bodies are selling, supplying, transferring or exporting goods, technology or services the sale, supply, transfer or export of which is prohibited under Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, whether or not the goods, technology or services originate in the Union.
