The European Commission promised not to take away clothes from Russians in the EU

European Commission spokesman Daniel Sheridan Ferry said that the ban on Russians importing a number of goods into the EU applies to cars, and personal items will not be considered a violation of sanctions.

According to the EC representative, it is motor vehicles that cannot be allowed into the EU territory, no matter for what purpose they are used.

“If you cross the border with clothing or personal items from the prohibited list,” Ferry added, “then we are not talking about people circumventing European sanctions.”
