Thank you Athina, Sander From athina.fragkouli at ripe.net Fri Aug 1 14:26:37 2014 From: athina.fragkouli at ripe.net (Athina Fragkouli) Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2014 14:26:37 +0200 Subject: [members-discuss] [address-policy-wg] [ncc-services-wg] Crimea papers In-Reply-To: <2981AC77-7EB0-4C9F-8B16-F1644EBB9E5B@steffann.nl> References: <53D65628.6010001@ukraine.su> <53D66B6A.3060002@ripe.net> <53D68EF8.2060103@ukraine.su> <20140728180451.GC51793@Space.Net> <20140729073316.GJ51793@Space.Net> <53D75403.3080902@netassist.ua> <20140729092156.GM51793@Space.Net> <29BD1EF7-5F1A-47BE-9960-2F36DD21C01A@rfc1035.com> <7C28157D-633E-45BC-8855-4B3864CC436A@bondis.org> <53DA22CE.20506@netassist.ua> <2981AC77-7EB0-4C9F-8B16-F1644EBB9E5B@steffann.nl> Message-ID: <53DB877D.7080100@ripe.net> Dear all, The RIPE NCC follows the developments regarding sanctions adopted by the European Union (EU) and reviews whether these sanctions restrict us from providing services to network operators in certain regions or from having a contractual relationship with them. Additionally, the RIPE NCC communicates with the Dutch authorities in order to clarify the details of the imposed sanctions and our obligations. So far, the EU sanctions adopted for the Crimea region (including the newest sanctions imposed by the EU by adopting the Council Regulation (EU) No 825/2014 of 30 July 2014) do not restrict us from doing any of the above. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2014.226.01.0002.01.ENG In response to the concerns raised about this new Regulation, we have the following remarks: According to Article 2c of the Regulation: 1. It shall be prohibited to sell, supply, transfer, export, directly or indirectly, key equipment and technology as listed in _Annex_III_ to any natural or legal person, entity or body in Crimea or Sevastopol or for use in Crimea or Sevastopol. 2. _Annex_III_ shall include key equipment and technology related to the creation, acquisition or development of infrastructure in the following sectors: ... (b) telecommunications; ... 3. It shall be prohibited to: (a) provide, directly or indirectly, technical assistance or brokering services related to the key equipment and technology listed in _Annex_III_, or related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance and use of items listed in _Annex_III_ to any natural or legal person, entity or body in Crimea or Sevastopol or for use in Crimea or Sevastopol; ... So any prohibition is related to key equipment and technology as listed in Annex III. Annex III does not include anything related to the services we provide, including the registration of Internet number resources. We will continue to follow the development of any sanctions that affect the provisioning of services in our region.
