Former
Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine Andriy Portnov has said that
the European Union Court has declared the decision of the EU Council to place
him on the personal sanction list as unlawful.
"Ukrainian authorities would have to reckon with
the decision of the EU Court issued today in Luxembourg. The court fully
satisfied my claim and declared the decision of the EU Council against me
unlawful and obliged the EU to reimburse all expenditures," Portnov wrote
on his Facebook page on Monday.
As reported, in June 2014, former Ukrainian President
Viktor Yanukovych, his two sons and several Ukrainian politicians, including
Portnov, filed claims to the EU Court in Luxembourg to challenge the lawfulness
of imposing sanctions against them and freezing their assets in Europe.
In March 2015, the EU lifted sanctions from four
officials of the Yanukovych times, including Portnov.
