In view of repeated violations of the UN arms embargo against Libya, the European Union has adopted new punitive measures. The foreign ministers of the member states unanimously passed a corresponding decision.
The punitive measures are therefore directed against companies and individuals who have provided ships, aircraft or other logistics for the transport of war material. Specifically, according to information from EU circles,
it is about three companies from Turkey, Jordan and Kazakhstan as well as two people from Libya. Possible accounts of companies in the EU will be blocked by the sanctions. In addition, European companies are no longer allowed to maintain business relationships with them.
Entry bans are imposed on the people. The sanctions were decided in principle by the EU ambassadors of the 27 member states on Friday and have now been put into effect by the ministers.

It is the first time that the EU has imposed independent sanctions for violating the arms embargo. So far it had only implemented UN sanctions in this area.
