Considering the table presented above, the export of goods in duplicate use and other strategic assets referred to in the regulations Belarus, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Somalia, Syria and Venezuela are strictly prohibited from export to these countries, directly or indirectly, pursuant to section 38 of the Code prohibitions and are not subject to any derogation (export permits not permitted).

The Treasury Department of the Ministry of Economy and Finance publishes 'consolidated' regulations that incorporate all the Updating regulations from the original regulations. The texts and their appendices to be read to find out what are the assets subject to sectoral restrictions are as follows:

  • the BELARUS Consolidated Regulation, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 of 18 May 2006 as amended concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus and Belarus' involvement in the aggression against Ukraine, including the list of goods in Schedule X updated by several interim regulations;
  • the NORTH KOREA Consolidated Regulation, i.e. Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1509 of 30 August 2017 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: the list of goods set out in Annex II ;
  • the IRAN Consolidated Regulation, i.e. Regulation (EU) 267/2012 of 23 March 2012 as amended concerning restrictive measures against Iran; especially the list of goods included in the in Annex II up-to-date by several interim regulations ; as well as Regulation (EU) 2023/1529 of 20 July 2023 concerning restrictive measures in view of Iran's military support for Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
  • the Consolidated IRAQ Regulation, i.e. Council Regulation (EU) 2010/2003 of 7 July 2003 amended;
  • the RUSSIA Consolidated Regulation, i.e. the Regulation> (UE) 833/2014 du Conseil du 31 juillet 2014 modifié concernant des mesures restrictives eu égard aux actions de la Russie déstabilisant la situation en Ukraine, modifié par le règlement (UE) 2024/745 du Conseil du 23 février 2024>;
  • the consolidated SOMALIA regulation , i.e. Council Regulation (EU) No. 147/2003 of January 27, 2003 as amended, in particular the list of goods appearing in Annex III updated by several intermediate regulations;
  • the consolidated SYRIA regulation , concerning restrictive measures against Syria, i.e. Council Regulation (EU) No. 36/2012 of January 18, 2012 as amended, in particular the list of goods appearing in the annex up to date by several intermediate regulations;
  • the consolidated VENEZUELA Regulation , i.e. Council Regulation (EU) No. 2017/2063 of 13 November 2017 as amended, concerning restrictive measures due to the situation in Venezuela, in particular the list of goods appearing in Annex II updated updated by several intermediate regulations .

In France and other countries of the European Union, there is currently no implementing text aimed at sanctioning illicit exports of goods subject to restrictive measures against of the targeted countries affected by these European regulations. This is why the Council and the Parliament of the European Union published Directive 2024/1226 of 24 April 2024 relating to the definition of criminal offenses and sanctions in the event of violation of restrictive Union measures, obliging Member States to legislate, in accordance with this directive, within one year, to combat violations and evasion of these international sanctions.
