Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Ridicule has circled the innerboobs, propelled by RU press digests of each iteration of EC itemized contraband, since sanctions package N°2 (Feb 2022). Here is an example categorical announcement.

finance.ec.europa.eu | Sanctions adopted following Russia's military aggression against Ukraine

Technology sector
The EU imposed further restrictions on exports of dual-use goods and technology, as well as restrictions on exports of certain goods and technology which might contribute to Russia's technological enhancement of its defence and security sector.

This will include products such as semiconductors ["chips"] or cutting-edge technologies.

EC detailed list of regulated natural persons, corporations, banking transactions, raw goods, intermediate goods, and finished goods (eg. "washing machine") as well as commercial "compliance" documents are submitted to Official Journal of the EU (EUR-LEX). No one reads that except Russians and their trade partners. vdL, Borrell, and Baerbock vividly demonstrate the ignorance they inhabit.

Over the proceeding year of "embargo" failures—achiveved by self-serving Price Cap Coalition exemptions and, more significant, "third-country" wholesale imports from EU and re-sale to RU markets—EC "sanctions experts" attempted to differentiate, more precisely, exempted and forbidden practices, procedures, and goods produced by any and all manufactures. Sanctions Package N°8 (Oct 2022) illustrates a progressive lunacy of this project to proscribe distribution of industrial components (regardless of origin) and disassemble consumer "end-uses". worldwide.

Additional EU export bans: New export restrictions have been introduced on sensitive dual-use and advanced technologies that contribute to Russia's military capabilities and technological enhancement. This includes drone engines, camouflage gear, additional chemical/biological equipment, riot control agents and additional electronic components found in Russian military systems on the battlefield.

Moreover, the most severe export restrictions have been extended to 168 additional Russian organisations closely linked to the Russian military-industrial complex in an effort to cut off their access to sensitive dual-use and advanced technology items. This brings the total number of organisations sanctioned to 410. This decision has been taken in close collaboration with our partners and includes military end-users working in various sectors such as aeronautics.

New export bans will extend to additional industrial goods and technology, such as toy/hobby drones, complex generator devices, laptop computers and computing components, printed circuits, radio navigational systems, radio remote control apparatus, aircraft engines and parts of engines, cameras and lenses.

An even wider range of business services can no longer be provided to Russia with the introduction of bans on market research and public opinion polling services, technical testing and analysis services, and advertising services.

Now, consider the Eleventh Sanctions Package, the "anti-circumvention tool" (June 2023). August has come and nearly gone without commintment to the Official Journal of the EU. Or BRICS "enlargement".
