Recital 30

Council Regulation (EU) 2026/506 of 23 April 2026 amending Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine · European Union

(30) The wording ‘any other Russian person, entity or body’ in Article 11(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 includes the Russian Federation. Where the Russian Federation brings a claim in Russian or other third country courts in connection with any contract or transaction the performance of which has been affected, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by the measures imposed under Regulations (EU) No 833/2014 and (EU) No 269/2014, the Russian Federation acts in a commercial capacity or waives its immunity from jurisdiction and enforcement, including for potential counterclaims, as the case may be. In such cases, by virtue of Article 11a of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, Union persons should be able to recover damages in proceedings before Member States’ courts, provided that the person concerned does not otherwise have effective access to remedies under the relevant jurisdiction.
