In its policy, the European Union intervenes when necessary to prevent conflict or in response to emerging or actual crises. In certain cases, EU intervention can take the form of restrictive measures or 'sanctions'. The application of financial sanctions and more precisely the freezing of assets constitutes an obligation for both the public and private sector. In this regard, a particular responsibility falls on credit and financial institutions, since they are involved in the bulk of financial transfers.

In order to facilitate the application of financial sanctions, the European Banking Federation, the European Savings Banks Group, the European Association of Co-operative Banks, the European Association of Public Banks ("the EU Credit Sector Federations") and the European Commission recognised the need for an EU consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to financial sanctions and more precisely the freezing of assets. The Credit Sector Federations set up an initial database containing the consolidated list. The European Commission subsequently took over this database and is responsible for its maintenance and for keeping the consolidated list of sanctions up-to-date. In this respect, the European Commission launched a new Web page in June 2017, where the consolidated lists of financial sanctions consisting in freezing of assets are published in different formats (see link below).

Disclaimer: While every effort is made to ensure that the database and the consolidated list correctly reproduce all relevant data of the officially adopted texts published in the Official Journal of the European Union, neither the Commission nor the EU Credit Sector Federations accepts any liability for possible omissions of relevant data or mistakes, and nor for any use the database or of the consolidated list. Only the information published in the Official Journal of the EU is deemed authentic. Please note that the information in this dataset may not be fully up to date because updates are delayed compared to the relevant publications in the EU's Official Journal.

Subscribers can find out export and import data of 23 countries by HS code or product’s name. This demo is helpful for market analysis.

In 2024, the UK law firm with the highest profits per equity partner (PEP) was DLA Piper. Second in the list was A&O Shearman, with a PEP of *** million British pounds in the same year.

(C) Diagram shows the autophagic flux of 293 cells with differently modulated BAG1 and BAG3 levels as described in (A) and (B). Autophagic flux was determined by the strength of LC3‐II accumulation in a 2‐h treatment period with Pep.A/E64. Therefore, normalised LC3‐II levels in the absence of inhibitors were subtracted from corresponding levels obtained in the presence of Pep.A/E64. Values are expressed as mean±s.e.m. *P0.05 versus control‐transfected cells, n=3.. List of tagged entities: MAP1LC3C (uniprot:Q9BXW4), E64 (CHEBI:30270), Pepstatin (CHEBI:7989), BAG1 (ncbigene:573), BAG3 (ncbigene:9531), western blot (bao:BAO_0002424)

(A) 293 cells were transfected with nonsense (nons), bag1 or bag3 siRNAs for 48 h and then treated for 2 h with the lysosomal inhibitors pepstatinA and E64 (both 10 μg/ml; Pep.A/E64) or DMSO as control, followed by immunoblot analysis of the indicated proteins..

(E) I90 cells, transfected as in (D) for 24 h, were microscopically analysed for GFP‐LC3 fluorescence. Representative pictures are shown. Bar: 20 μm. Values expressed in diagram are mean±s.e.m. from three independent experiments (50 cells were counted per experiment). *P0.05 versus N1, n=3..
