The EU Sanctions Helpdesk was launched in March 2025, to support small and medium-sized businesses understand and comply with EU sanctions. It provides support to businesses by answering questions on the applicability of EU sanctions, offering guidance on performing sanctions due diligence, including on the assessment of ownership and control; and undertaking due diligence checks if businesses encounter red flags or need support.
