<p>We do not currently believe that sanctions are the most effective instrument to
resolve tensions between Turkey and Greece. Any EU listings decisions are a matter
for EU member states. The UK will pursue an independent sanctions policy at the end
of the Transition Period. We will look to carry over existing EU sanctions into domestic
law wherever it helps to further the UK's foreign policy objectives. The transfer
of each EU sanctions regime into UK law will be considered on a case by case basis,
and designations transferred into UK autonomous sanctions regimes at the end of the
Transition Period will be subject to a final ministerial decision-making process.</p><p>We
believe it is critical for stability in the Mediterranean and for the integrity of
the rules-based international system that disputes such as this are resolved, not
through force, militarisation or coercion, but through dialogue and in accordance
with international law. We will continue to work with the wider region to that end.</p>
