European Council Renews EU Terrorist List for Another Six Months

The European Council extended by six months the European Union terrorist list that established restrictive measures against 14 people and 21 entities, the EC said in a July 19 news release. The restrictions include an asset freeze and were initially established following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The sanctions, reviewed at least every six months, are now set to expire in January 2022. The terrorist list is separate from the EU's al-Qaida and ISIL sanctions regime.
