Updated Financial Sanctions General Guidance

22 March 2022

22 March 2022

New paragraph (4.14) added to the Ownership and Control subject and clarifies OFSI's position on aggregation and reads as follows:

"When making an assessment on ownership and control, OFSI would not simply aggregate different designated persons’ holdings in a company, unless, for example, the shares or rights are subject to a joint arrangement between the designated parties or one party controls the rights of another. Consequently, if each of the designated person's holdings falls below the 50% threshold in respect of share ownership and there is no evidence of a joint arrangement or that the shares are held jointly, the company would not be directly or indirectly owned by a designated person.

It should be noted that ownership and control also relates to holding more than 50% of voting rights, the right to appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors and it being reasonable to expect that a designated person would be able in significant respects to ensure that the affairs of a company are conducted in accordance with their wishes. If any of these apply, the company could be controlled by a designated person."

This instrument is made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (‘the Sanctions Act’) to make amendments to the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/855) (‘the 2019 Regulations’). These amendments will introduce new trade sanctions measures relating to internet services and online media services, for the purposes set out in regulation 4 of the 2019 Regulations.

This instrument amends Part 5 (Trade) of the 2019 Regulations, which contains trade sanctions measures, and makes related consequential amendments. This instrument provides for a number of restrictions in the form of trade in services sanctions. It introduces requirements that: Social media services, including video sharing platforms, must take reasonable steps to prevent content that is generated directly on the service, or uploaded to or shared on the service, by a designated person being encountered by a user of the service in the United Kingdom. Internet access services, including fixed and wireless broadband providers, must take reasonable steps to prevent users of the service in the United Kingdom from accessing websites provided by a designated person. This will likely take the form of URL blocking. Application stores, including those on smartphones, must take reasonable steps to prevent users of the application store in the United Kingdom from downloading or otherwise accessing an application provided by a designated person.

The instrument confers powers on the Secretary of State to designate persons to whom these online restrictions will apply. The instrument also confers on the Office of Communications (Ofcom) the power to impose civil monetary penalties on a person who fails to comply with the new trade sanctions. Failing to comply with the new sanctions is also a criminal offence.

Amended on
3 February 2023

Implemented under regulation 64 of 2019 UK-Russia Regulations

3 February 2023

The UK, in partnership with the G7 countries, Australia and the European Union, has already implemented a price cap on Russian crude oil trade by firms shipping oil to third countries. This cap was set at USD$60 per barrel, and came into effect on 5 December 2022.

It was also agreed that a price cap would come into effect for Russian refined oil products from 5 February 2023, and the UK and its price cap Coalition partners have agreed that this cap will be determined by categorisation of refined oil products as follows:

  • Products categorised as ‘premium to crude’ will be subject to the Premium to Crude price cap.
  • All other products are categorised as ‘discount to crude’ and will be subject to the Discount to Crude price cap review.

As with the 5 December oil price cap, OFSI has issued a General Licence to implement the caps for oil products. As with the existing price cap for oil, the level of both caps will be kept under review.
