EC launches helpdesk to support EU SMEs comply with sanctions

The European Commission has launched a new one-stop-shop providing vital support to European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) navigating the complex landscape of sanctions compliance.
The EU Sanctions Helpdesk will offer a comprehensive range of services designed to help SMEs comply with EU sanctions worldwide, reducing the risk of non-compliance, and associated costs. The EU has over 40 sanctions regimes globally.

The Helpdesk will provide personalised support to EU SMEs performing sanctions due diligence checks - at no cost to the companies. The Helpdesk will manage a dedicated website featuring sanctions-related information, country-specific guidance, events, tips, lessons learned, and more.
