September 29 is the public launch of the EU Sanctions Map, a web application developed by the Estonian Foreign Ministry as a user-friendly source of up-to-date information on the various sanctions applied in the EU.

In addition to conveying a foreign policy position, sanctions also require companies and individuals in the EU to refrain from certain activities. It is important for the private and public sector organisations throughout the European Union to know what obligations stem from sanctions, making vital the existence of a basic and modern tool for explaining this foreign policy instrument.
