I do not think the world has moved on so much in a decade that it would not still apply. Does Mr. O’Brien accept that prohibiting companies from providing services to occupied territories is in fact doable if it was done in the case of the 2014 legislation on Crimea? What would be the various contexts? Mr. O’Brien has pointed to different ways of working but I would love the detail because I do not understand how the world has changed so much in a decade with regard to the way services are delivered.
