Sanctions regulations are becoming increasingly complex and significant. This also applies to export controls, reaching sectors that were traditionally not considered sensitive to export controls. Furthermore, the Dutch government is pushing forward with modernizing the Dutch Sanctions Act. As a professional in this field, it is very likely that you'll be navigating both the European and U.S. sanctions and export controls landscape. Staying ahead of all the changes is crucial.

Therefore, we invite you to join our seminar "The latest updates on Sanctions and Export Controls" hosted by the expert group FEC of the VCO. This event will provide valuable insights into the latest developments in sanctions and export controls across Europe, the Netherlands, and the US. We combine the contributions of experts with the view and challenges of compliance officers in their day-to-day work. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to connect and share perspectives with industry peers and experts.

The seminar will be held on Thursday 21 November 2024 and will be in English.
