Type: Acts of the European Union: European Parliament Resolution on the evaluation of EU sanctions as part of the EU's actions and policies in the area of human rights

Authority: European Authorities - European Union: European Parliament

Date: 09/04/2008

Subject: The European Parliament affirmed that sanctions are one of the instruments which the EU may use to implement its policy on human rights; however, disparities in the legal bases for the implementation of the EU's sanctions policy are undermining the transparency and coherence of this policy and, as a result, its credibility. The European Parliament therefore concluded that the EU’s sanctions policy must be enhanced by involving Parliament in the form of systematic consultation with, and reports from, the Council and the Commission.
