About This List

EU Libya sanctions list, maintained by the Council of the European Union under Regulation 2016/44, designates 51 individuals and entities linked to the Gaddafi regime and actions threatening Libyan stability, requiring asset freezes during cross-border payment screening.

Detailed Information

EU Financial Sanctions Files (FSF) contain the Consolidated List of persons, groups, and entities subject to EU financial sanctions under the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). The list is managed by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Financial Stability and includes all individuals and organizations subject to asset freezes, travel bans, and other restrictive measures adopted by the EU Council.

EU sanctions are a key tool for achieving foreign and security policy objectives, including maintaining international peace, combating terrorism, preventing nuclear proliferation, and defending human rights. The FSF service provides real-time updates since July 2019, enabling financial institutions to automatically integrate the EU's sanctions data into their compliance systems via XML format.

Access the official list at: EU Financial Sanctions Files. For general EU sanctions information, visit: EEAS EU Sanctions.
