EU sanctions do not target a country or population, but are always targeted at specific policies or activities, the means to conduct them and those responsible for them.
Moreover, the EU makes every effort to minimise adverse consequences for the civilian population or for non-sanctioned activities or persons. They always form part of a wider, comprehensive policy approach involving political dialogue and complementary efforts. They are not punitive.
