The European Union, as part of the tenth package of sanctions against Russia, plans to force all banks to report on the assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation that are on their accounts. As written Bloombergthis should be the first step for studying options for the potential use of these funds for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
The proposals of the European Commission, which were submitted for consideration by the EU countries, also contain an obligation to report on frozen assets related to sanctioned individuals and legal entities from Russia. Violation of this requirement is punishable by fines of up to 50,000 euros for individuals and 10% of the annual turnover for companies.
