EU renews Tunisia sanctions for 1 year & de-lists Mabrouk

Today (29 January), the EU extended its Tunisia sanctions for 1 year, until 31 January 2020, targeting those responsible for the misappropriation of Tunisian state funds. The EU also removed Mohamed Mabrouk from that sanctions list (he recently failed in his application to annul his 2017 and 2018 listings before the EU General Court – see previous blog). See Council Decision (CFSP) 2019/135 and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/132.
