What is the legal basis for the EU restrictive measures against Russia?

What does “technical assistance” mean?

Do the Sanctions Regulations restrict a Russian citizen holding a personnel licence issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 (the “EASA Basic Regulation”) to exercise the privileges of the licence inside the EU (e.g. flying an aircraft for private purposes or for an EU airline, conducting maintenance for an EU aircraft, working in an EU Part-145 organisation, working as cabin crew in EU airlines)?

Who must comply with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014? What about holders of dual EU-Russia citizenship?

We understand that following evaluation of the terms “technical assistance” and “other services” as mentioned in the Sanctions Regulations, EASA has suspended certificates issued to organisations in Russia. Is this interpretation also applicable to approvals and certificates issued by EU Member States in the same way?

As the holder of an organisation approval (design organisation approval (DOA), production organisation approval (POA), maintenance organisation approval (MOA), continuing-airworthiness management organisation (CAMO), etc.) granted under Regulations (EU) Nos 748/2012 or 1321/2014, can I use my privileges for products, parts or appliances to be used by any natural or legal person, entity or body in Russia or for use in Russia?
