🇬🇧 English

This notice explains how the Council of the EU processes personal data for people placed on EU sanctions lists connected to the situation in Russia. It covers identification data, reasons for listing, and other information used to apply asset freezes and travel restrictions. For listed individuals, the practical point is that the Council is confirming the legal basis, purpose, responsible department, and data protection contact points for this processing. Businesses and compliance teams should treat it as an administrative data-protection notice linked to sanctions screening, not as a new standalone sanctions rule.
