On 23 April 2024, the European Union is organising a full day training seminar in Malaysia on EU sanctions.

The aim of the seminar is to raise awareness of EU sanctions and their application, and to promote cooperation among stakeholders  to counter possible circumvention of these measures.

The EU team of trainers is composed of sanctions experts from the European Commission, representatives from EU Member States as well as experts from the private sector (compliance divisions of major banks, tech or transportation and logistics companies).

The draft agenda of the event can be found here.

The seminar is free of charge and targeted to private sector operators interested in improving their awareness and understanding of EU sanctions. Private companies that would like to participate are invited to register using the following link: https://forms.gle/hrrNgtNnZjFsSN7j6 

The seminar will be conducted in Kuala Lumpur (venue will be communicated to confirmed participants). The deadline for registrations is 12 April 2024, after which participation will be confirmed by email.

The seminar is organised with the support of the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC).
