We have sanctioned the export of all chemicals and biochemicals of concern to Russia.<\/p>
<\/p>
This is in addition to our existing export controls, which already restrict the export of certain chemicals, pathogens and toxins.<\/p>
<\/p>
Sanctions and export controls are impacting Russia\u2019s economy and depriving its military of key components, and we are going further by extending our capabilities..<\/p>
<\/p>
My department has recently announced the creation of the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI) to strengthen enforcement and support industry compliance.<\/p>

The Government recognises the importance of steelmaking in the UK. However, there are many types of steel products needed by consumers, and it is not always economically viable for any nation to be wholly self-sufficient. This means that the UK imports certain types of steel and also exports certain steel product to other countries.<\/p>
We have taken action to enable a competitive landscape and level playing field, including reducing energy costs through the British Industry Supercharger, access to energy efficiency and decarbonisation funding, and remedies against unfair trading practices, while balancing the need to remain a fair and open market.<\/p>
