Mr. Brendan Bruen:

The underlying legal piece is that the CFSP instrument is adopted. That is a European regulation and a prohibition on that activity taking place.

This says that in the case of breaches of that sanction and a trade offence being committed, the person or persons will be subject to potentially a three-year prison term and a fine.
