What changed
The European Commission has updated — for the 357th time — the list of persons and entities subject to asset freezes under EU rules targeting those associated with ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida. Seven individuals or entities have been removed from the list following a decision by the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee on 21 May 2026. Note: this regulation has since been repealed and may have been replaced by a more recent version.
Who is affected
This primarily affects banks, financial institutions, businesses, and any organisation required to comply with asset-freezing obligations under Regulation (EC) No 881/2002. The seven removed individuals or entities are no longer subject to EU financial restrictions.
What to look out for
→ If your organisation manages sanctions compliance screening, it is worth updating your internal restricted-party lists to reflect these removals. The official updated list is available in the Official Journal of the European Union.
