[Regnum] The Council of the European Union decided to create a mechanism for imposing sanctions against Niger, but so far not a single citizen of this country or a single legal entity has been included in the blacklist, representatives of the Brussels department reported on October 23.
“The Council of the European Union has approved a mechanism for introducing prohibitive measures in view of the situation in Niger. From the very beginning, the European Union condemned the coup in Niger in the harshest terms. “The current decision will support the efforts of the Economic Community of West African Countries and sends a signal that a high price will have to be paid for the military coup,” the Council statement said.
The agency has created a legal basis for imposing sanctions against individuals and legal entities in Niger. It is assumed that there will be a possibility of freezing financial assets, introducing a ban on the transfer of funds from EU countries and restricting entry into the territory of the European Union. At the same time, the EU Council promised to provide a mechanism for “humanitarian exceptions” for possible supplies of humanitarian aid.
As Regnum reported earlier, the coup in Niger took place on July 26. The military removed President Mohamed Bazoum from governing the country and blocked him in the presidential residence. A decree was signed on the formation of a new transitional government.
The country's new authorities made a number of harsh statements regarding France. In October 2023, Paris began withdrawing its troops from Niger. This process should be completed by the end of 2023, noted French President Emmanuel Macron.
