The EU sanctions tracker: Your guide to understanding the sanctions landscape
How an interactive tool improves transparency on EU restrictive measures
The EU recently adopted its 20th package of sanctions against Russia. The EU sanctions tracker can be found on the European Data Portal, offering insight into EU sanctions policy through open data. The tool brings together information on financial sanctions and travel bans imposed by the European Union. It is designed to make complex policy decisions more understandable for a wider audience. By presenting sanctions data in an accessible format, the EU strengthens transparency and public awareness of its foreign policy measures.
The tracker allows users to explore sanctions in a structured and visual way. It covers individuals, organisations, and nationalities, giving a clear overview of who is affected and why. Users can filter results and view them in charts that update automatically as new data becomes available. The tool is built on two key datasets: asset freezes and travel bans, which are regularly updated. This ensures that the information reflects the latest EU decisions.
Beyond simple access, the tracker supports analysis and reuse. Users can download data and combine it with other datasets available on the European Data Portal. This makes it easier to study trends, compare policies, and understand the broader impact of sanctions. The integration with the European Data Portal highlights the EU’s commitment to open data as a tool for policy insight. It also shows how different datasets can be connected to support research and decision-making.
