Subject: Sanctions for Russian officials involved in the case of Sergey Magnitsky

Restrictive and targeted measures, such as those proposed by the European Parliament in its resolution of 16 December 2010 with regard to the case of Sergey Magnitsky, have recently been the subject of much debate and were touched upon in discussions on the need to review EU Neighbourhood policy, in particular in the light of the sanctions imposed on Belarus by the Council on 31 January 2011 and the need to curtail the severe human rights violations currently taking place in Southern Europe.
