The EU sanctions tracker: Your guide to understanding the sanctions
landscape
The EU recently adopted its 20th package of sanctions against Russia.
The EU sanctions tracker
[https://data.europa.eu/apps/eusanctionstracker/] can be found on the
European Data Portal [https://data.europa.eu/en], 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 [https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fsd/fsf] and travel bans
[https://www.sanctionsmap.eu/#/main/travel/ban], 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 [https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?locale=en].
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.
