UAE curbs re-exports of EU products to Russia, according to Bloomberg

To prevent them from being used in the conflict in Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates has decided to restrict the re-export of vital products from the European Union to Russia. Bloomberg states this, using its own sources. The agency claims that Turkey is thinking of taking similar action.

Bloomberg quotes an official from the United Arab Emirates as saying that the nation is limiting the export and re-export of dual-use commodities to conflict zones. The official stated that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has an export control mechanism that monitors these products.

An official from the United Arab Emirates also said that the UAE is "maintaining a dialogue" with international partners about the conflict in Ukraine and its effects on the global economy. While Bloomberg sought reaction from the European Commission and the Turkish trade ministry, both organizations remained silent.

The Wall Street Journal reported in September that officials from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union traveled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in an effort to stop the export of dual-use commodities to Russia. These exports include mostly computer chips and other components. /BGNES
