[DEPRECATED] Consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to EU financial sanctions

In its policy, the European Union intervenes when necessary to prevent conflict or in response to emerging or actual crises. In certain cases, EU intervention can take the form of restrictive measures or 'sanctions'. The application of financial sanctions and more precisely the freezing of assets constitutes an obligation for both the public and private sector. In this regard, a particular responsibility falls on credit and financial institutions, since they are involved in the bulk of financial transfers. In order to facilitate the application of financial sanctions, the European Banking Federation, the European Savings Banks Group, the European Association of Co-operative Banks, the European Association of Public Banks ("the EU Credit Sector Federations") and the European Commission recognised the need for an EU consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to financial sanctions and more precisely the freezing of assets. The Credit Sector Federations set up an initial database containing the consolidated list. The European Commission subsequently took over this database and is responsible for its maintenance and for keeping the consolidated list of sanctions up-to-date. In this respect, the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) of the European Commission launched a new Web page in June 2017, where the consolidated lists of financial sanctions consisting in freezing of assets are published in different formats (see link below). Disclaimer: While every effort is made to ensure that the database and the consolidated list correctly reproduce all relevant data of the officially adopted texts published in the Official Journal of the European Union, neither the Commission nor the EU Credit Sector Federations accepts any liability for possible omissions of relevant data or mistakes, and nor for any use the database or of the consolidated list. Only the information published in the Official Journal of the EU is deemed authentic. ____ This dataset has been deprecated when the ownership has been moved from FPI (Service for Foreign Policy Instruments) to FISMA (DG for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union)欧盟在其政策框架下，会在必要时介入以预防冲突，或对突发或已发生的危机作出应对。在某些情形下，欧盟的介入可采取限制性措施或‘制裁’的形式。金融制裁的实施，更确切地说是资产冻结，对公共部门与私营部门均构成一项义务。就此而言，信贷与金融机构肩负特殊责任，因为它们承担了绝大多数的金融转账业务。 为便于金融制裁的实施，欧洲银行联合会（European Banking Federation）、欧洲储蓄银行集团（European Savings Banks Group）、欧洲合作银行协会（European Association of Co-operative Banks）、欧洲公共银行协会（上述机构合称‘欧盟信贷行业联合会’）以及欧盟委员会（European Commission）均认为，有必要建立一份欧盟统一清单，列明受金融制裁（具体为资产冻结措施）约束的个人、团体与实体。欧盟信贷行业联合会搭建了包含该统一清单的初始数据库。欧盟委员会随后接管了该数据库，并负责其维护工作，同时确保制裁统一清单始终处于更新状态。就此而言，欧盟委员会对外政策工具局（FPI）于2017年6月推出了全新网页，以多种格式发布包含资产冻结措施的金融制裁统一清单（详见下方链接）。 免责声明：尽管已尽一切努力确保本数据库与统一清单能够准确复刻欧盟官方公报（Official Journal of the European Union）发布的正式文本中的全部相关数据，但欧盟委员会与欧盟信贷行业联合会均不对相关数据的遗漏、错误，以及因使用本数据库或统一清单所引发的任何问题承担任何责任。唯有欧盟官方公报发布的信息方可被认定为权威有效。 ________本数据集已被弃用，其所有权已从对外政策工具局（FPI）转移至金融稳定、金融服务与资本市场联盟总司（FISMA）。
