Switzerland joins a number of sanctions imposed by EU on Belarus
The authorities of Switzerland have made a decision to join certain sanctions imposed by the European Union on Belarus on June 29, 2024, the Swiss government said in a statement.
"On October 30, the Federal Council decided to adopt further sanctions against Belarus," the statement said.
The new measures will enter into effect on October 31.
The sanctions which Switzerland joins include the ban on investments in companies of the Belarusian energy sector, the ban on imports of gold, diamonds, helium, and natural resources from Belarus, the ban on exports of luxury goods to Belarus, and others.
At the same time, Switzerland decided not to join all imposed sanctions, for instance, it will not force its businesses to ensure that their subsidiaries in third countries do not undermine the EU's sanctions.
