The Ermak Macfola sanction group has developed a new document to improve the efficiency of sanctions against

In particular, it is proposed to create a unified list of sanctions, a list of offenders, a control list of companies and high -risk companies, a traffic light system to assess the country's sanctions regime, monitor Russian trade data and improve data exchange between allies.

It is noted that sanctions against Russia have a great impact on its economy: the exit of most Western companies from Russia, the destruction of entire sectors of the economy and production, the freezing of half of Russian international reserves and the inevitable loss of major European markets for Russian oil and gas.

However, the catastrophic impact of sanctions on the Russian economy was softened with high oil and gas prices, as well as existing exceptions and holes that allow them to bypass them. Some loopholes are constantly detected and closed, not least due to the media and expert studies. In addition, the document proposes a more systematic approach to setting limits for management and regulation of economic relations with Russia - the Cold War 2. 0 approach.

This may provide for the introduction of a special trade regime with the Russian Federation in order to minimize trade and block access to Western technologies, markets and finances before the transition to peaceful foreign policy. “It is another collective product of the working group that has a real applied effect: all specific companies, the schemes of bypassing the sanctions, the conclusions specified in the document are already worked out by our partners.

We insist on increased sanction pressure and the introduction of the most systematic restrictive approach to the regime of interaction with the terrorist country, ”Andrey Yermak said. The report is structured into three main sectors: financial, energy sanctions and military-industrial complex. The analysis of the Russian army in Ukraine shows the widespread use of technological components of US, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, China and Taiwan. Named: Mesit Asd S. R.

A partial solution is suggested to impose sanctions on specific Russian companies, as well as on companies that produce components. The financial sphere uses intermediaries to conceal the ultimate beneficiaries of funds, as well as the implementation of additional measures to avoid sanctions. For example, the Russian oligarch Melnichenko transferred his wife to the ownership of the Swiss company Eurochem the day before the EU sanctions.

Alisher Usmanov escaped sanctions, transferring huge assets to one of his sisters Saodat Narziyev, obstetrician from Tashkent. Oil of Russian origin is mixed with oil from another country, until the non -Russian component exceeds the threshold, after which this oil is no longer classified as Russian. It is also argued that Russia creates a shadow fleet of tankers to avoid current and future sanctions.

The Volga Reed Tanker Fleet, which belongs to the Russian oligarch Lisin, which has still been only under the sanctions of Australia, is used for transportation of oil or petroleum products from Russian ports to a transshipment for 20 nautical miles from them. The document urges Western economies to approve more consistent and complex sanctions, especially for military enterprises, as well as to improve the formulation of sanctions to eliminate loopholes that allow such trade.

Introduction of sectoral sanctions on all trade in military products with Russia with the use of sanctions separately to all legal entities of the Russian military-industrial complex and their trade partners. Sanctions applied to the final owner and asset controller must also apply to any nominal person who has received the official ownership of assets within the sanctions evasion strategy.

Professional consultants who contribute to the evasion of sanctions should be the main purpose for secondary sanctions, including the threat of prohibition to engage in professional activity for at least a few years in the event of a violation of sanctions.
