The European Commission has established a permanent office to coordinate sanctions against Russia, says EU Press Secretary Siobhan McGarry. The structure will provide a complete cycle of work with restrictions - from political development to the struggle to circumvent them. The purpose of the office will be to provide EU countries with rapid access to data and technical analyzes to harmonize sanctions compliance processes. According to McGarry, the initiative is designed to maximize the impact of the sanctions on Russia. Also, the EC continues to prepare the 22nd package of restrictions, the dates of which have not yet been determined.
