German customs confiscates the goods of Russian-speaking businessmen, even if they are not on the sanctions lists. This was reported by TASS Referring to the Russian Association for the Prevention of Discrimination and Exclusion of Germans and Russian-Speaking Citizens in Germany (VADAR).
According to the organization, the German state customs administration has joined the discriminatory policy of local banks, which prohibits opening accounts for businesses with Russian passports.
The message states that before sending goods to the EU, customs checks the legality of the goods and whether there are sanctions restrictions. The association also claims that cargoes that are not included in the EU sanctions lists are also considered sanctioned.
“During the time when the goods are at customs for some incomprehensible and far-fetched reason, businessmen lose customers and are also forced to pay for the carrier’s downtime. Some products lose their shelf life,” VADAR said.
The other day, Bundestag member Sarah Wagenknecht statedThat Western sanctions do not harm Russia and that by supporting them, Germany is waging an economic war against itself, not the Russian Federation.
Previously EU started to claim New sanctions package against Russia.
