It's alive! Beyond thrilled to see first glimpses of my new book on how EU #geoeconomic diplomacy is key when striving for an effective implementation of #sanctions. In all modesty, a rather timely topic..
Book to be officially launched soon, stay tuned! @Brill_Social@diisdk
Fight off the January blues by reading @kimbolsen's excellent new blog post on #GeoEconomic#Diplomacy and learn about state-market actor-networks as assets of #ForeignPolicy👇

Blog Post: How European geoeconomic diplomacy must become a two-way street of public-private learning. @kimbolsen: it requires translating the language of economic power into innovative practice. @ISGA_Hague @dgapev https://t.co/gpfTVPBv4P
We welcome the provisional agreement between @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil on new rules criminalising the violation of EU sanctions.
The new rules will harmonise criminal offences and penalties for the violation of EU sanctions.

And, the excellent guests on this show also highlight what the Nordic states - Finland, Norway, Denmark & Sweden also got wrong, how they are trying to put it right & what tensions remain.

What’s in the EU’s 12th sanctions package? Lots on the table:
- improving the enforcement of the price cap: banning transactions with sanctioned vessels, contractual clauses prohibiting sales above the cap, increasing oil-price transparency;
- a diamond ban is under consideration
I've been taking a break from commenting on current events as I finish my book. But I've been asked a lot about reports that Russia is now shipping oil without Western services and thus skirting the price cap, so I'm making an exception.
My thoughts (🧵):

Our analysis explaining how Russia dodges the oil price cap is front page @ft. We continue to work with the authorities to close loopholes @KSE_Institute@ben_hilgenstock. @xtophercook@OilSheppard thank you for your investigative journalism.
A big day at the European Court of Justice today, as 7 appeals by Russian oligarchs were rejected, incl. Timchenko,a longtime friend of Putin and a shareholder in Bank Rossiya, Pumpyansky, founder of TMK, Khudaverdyan, deputy chief executive of Yandex and Gutseriev, a potash czar
Despite sanctions against Moscow, diesel, kerosene, and other fuels refined from Russian crude are still flooding into Europe.
The culprit? India.

Talte til morgen med @DRNyheder om risici ved sanktionsomgåelse fra 🇪🇺 via 🇬🇪 ind i 🇷🇺, der snarere udgør et geopolitisk end et rent økonomisk problem. Hør også med her fra indslag hos @P1radio (01:29:00): https://t.co/ju2UlZB3zy) #dkpol#dkeu
After 🇫🇮 Fortum and 🇩🇪Uniper, Russia seized control of the Russian subsidiaries of 🇨🇵Danone and 🇩🇰Carlsberg. While the West is still contemplating whether to use countermeasures to seize Russian assets, the Kremlin is already doing so.

Check out the @GlobalSpotlight annual report featuring impressive results from #Kyrgyzstan, whose wonderful cross-agency team I had the pleasure to support in their annual report and sustainability strategy development.
Tysklands længe ventede sikkerhedsstrategi har ambitiøse pejlemærker om øget resiliens og bæredygtighed, men giver ikke klarhed over den overordnede sikkerhedspol retning, Europas største land ser for sig selv, skriver @kimbolsen i dette policy brief.

Talked to Danish media about the weak #EUCO conclusions on 🇪🇺-🇨🇳 relations. Only positive: #derisking endorsed for the way ahead; but new forms of state-biz cooperation now needed to put words into action #dkpol#eupol#dkbiz@dgapev
