Germany and France are in favor of imposing EU sanctions against the rebels in Niger, Report informs referring to TASS citing the DPA agency.
The sanctions are aimed at leading representatives of the military junta that seized power as a result of a coup d'état. In addition, organizations that support the putschists can also become a target. It needs to be made clear that the EU will not stand by and do nothing about the violent overthrow of a democratically elected president, DPA noted.
Agency sources emphasize that EU sanctions against the rebels must be adopted unanimously by all states of the community. These measures will include a ban on entry into the European Union. In addition, the assets of the affected persons in the EU must be frozen.
