Summary
Council Regulation (EU) 2026/513 of 23 April 2026 amends Regulation (EC) No 765/2006, tightening restrictive measures targeting Belarus in light of its involvement in the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The amendment strengthens the existing sanctions regime applicable to Belarusian persons, entities, and sectors.

“Council Regulation (EU) 2026/513 of 23 April 2026 amending Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus and the involvement of Belarus in the Russian aggression against Ukraine”
Luxembourg credit institutions and investment firms subject to CSSF supervision should review their sanctions-screening databases and customer due-diligence procedures to account for any new Belarus designations, sectoral expansions, or transaction prohibitions introduced by this amendment. Regulated entities already screening against Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 will need to update their compliance parameters to reflect the new requirements.
