The EU Council shared the information in its press release.
The EU Council recalled that the current restrictions, which were first introduced in June 2014, include a ban on imports to the EU of products originating in the illegally annexed Crimea and Sevastopol, as well as on infrastructure, financial investments and tourism services from the illegally annexed Crimea and Sevastopol.
In addition, the EU restrictions apply to the export of certain goods and technologies to Crimean companies or for use in the illegally annexed Crimea in the transport, telecommunications and energy sectors, as well as for the prospecting, exploration and production of oil, gas and mineral resources.
"The EU does not recognise and continues to condemn the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol by the Russian Federation as a violation of international law," the statement said.
