question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they will take to ensure that United Kingdom companies conducting business in or with the government of Russia in compliance with European Union sanctions will not be subject to any penalties applied by United States authorities which allege that sanctions have been breached on the basis of the United States' system of sanctions.

uin	HL1685
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/08/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The European Union has coordinated very closely with the United States on sanctions against Russia. The European Union and the United States acting in a coordinated manner not only has the maximum possible effect on Russia’s policy calculations but also ensures that we reduce to an absolute minimum the likelihood that any UK companies that comply with the European Union legislation will nevertheless fall foul of United States’ sanctions legislation applying extraterritorially. At present we are not aware of any specific circumstances where this is likely to occur, but any company with concerns about United States sanctions should in the first instance consult United States lawyers or regulatory authorities to ensure that they comply with applicable United States legislation.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Livingston of Parkhead question first answered 11/08/2014 10:26:18 answering member 4278 label Biography information for Lord Livingston of Parkhead
