Consolidated FAQs on the implementation of Council Regulation No 833/2014 and Council Regulation No 269/2014 [Version of 8 June 2023]

The EC has published an updated consolidated version of its FAQs on the implementation of Council Regulation No 833/2014 and Council Regulation No 269/2014 in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The consolidated version includes FAQs concerning EU sanctions adopted following Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine.
The update provides a list of websites of some national regulators concerning domains and subdomains of targeted media entities.
Below we would like to present the amended question in full, quote:
—
Section G „SECTOR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.“, topic 1 „MEDIA“ (starting on page 270)
Question 3 (p. 272): The targeted entities have Internet subdomains and also newly-created domains. Are EU operators obliged to avoid enabling, facilitating or otherwise contributing to access to all such subdomains and new domains?
Answer: The entity that registers a domain has control over the subdomains; if the domain is blocked, its subdomains should be blocked as well. The prohibition laid down in the Regulation also applies to newly created Internet domains that are in substance run or controlled by the targeted entities or used to circumvent the prohibition at issue.
Indicative and non-exhaustive lists of domains and subdomains can be found in the websites of some national regulators:
