This morning, Amila Briga, Clara Löfgren, and Johan Toma attended the Inspectorate of Strategic Products´ (ISP) follow-up meeting on the FDI Act (sw. UDI-lagen), marking nearly a year since its implementation. The Act serves as a key safeguard for Sweden’s security, public order, and public safety by introducing a screening mechanism of foreign direct Investments in protection-worthy activities. The session provided valuable insights into the procedural aspects of the case process, collaboration within the EU framework, and the critical role of legal representatives in navigating this regulatory landscape. Key contributors included ISP’s Director-General Carl Johan Wieslander, Lars-Göran Larsson, head of the FDI unit, and Anna Beckius and Elin Gylleby, group managers at the FDI unit. Moderated by Gunnar Karlson, the discussions highlighted significant progress, with over 1,000 notifications processed to date, while also addressing ongoing challenges under the Act.

Today, Lord Kirkhope of Harrogate raised an important issue with the new Government regarding ILEAP—a proposed platform designed to facilitate real-time criminal data exchange with the European Union. The main goal of ILEAP Phase 2 is to address the loss of the UK's access to the Schengen Information System (SIS II). To put this in perspective, SIS II was checked 603 million times by UK police in 2019 alone. As our Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) report makes clear, since losing access to SIS II, British law enforcement has had to rely on Interpol's systems, which unfortunately lack real-time access and are less comprehensive and accurate. This creates a significant gap in our security framework. The 2025 UK Border Strategy underscores the urgent need to improve and expand systems for sharing information with our international partners. As part of the Security Union Strategy, the European Commission is working on a framework for reciprocal access to security-related information between the EU and key third countries, including the UK, to counter shared security threats. The Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) already provides a legal foundation for operational cooperation between the UK and EU, facilitating the bilateral exchange of law enforcement data, including alerts. Therefore, it is clear that there is common ground between the UK and EU to either regain access to SIS II or to develop a new system that replaces the lost access. The Government should urgently begin negotiations with the EU to ensure this happens. In a world where security threats are constantly evolving, it's crucial that British law enforcement has the tools it needs to protect our citizens.

Well this will certainly impact #sanctions #risk assessment. #CJEU rules on associated #family members and their links to #restrictedentities Family association is not enough. "The General Court recalls that the 'association' criterion, applied in respect of Mr Nikita #Mazepin, covers persons who are, generally speaking, linked by common interests. In accordance with settled case-law, that criterion implies the existence of a link going beyond a family relationship, established in the light of a set of indicia sufficiently specific, precise and consistent." "In the circumstances of the present case, the General Court holds that the Council did not discharge its burden of proof to establish such a link." "The maintaining acts are therefore based, de facto, solely on the family connection, which is not sufficient to maintain his name on the lists of persons subject to restrictive measures." Thanks to Alexander Witt, CSS for raising this to attention. https://lnkd.in/eTApzWPd
