2 Against which restricted party lists should an EU-
based company screen?
2.1 EU regulations against which to screen
Generally, companies with headquarters in the EU only need to consider those restricted party lists/denied-
party lists that are mentioned in the EU embargo regulations or in national law.
There are two types of embargo regulations against whose annexes a company’s business partners must be
screened. On the one hand, these are embargoes on individuals as defined in the “anti-terrorism regulations”,
EU Regulations Nos. 881/2002 (ISIL (Da‘esh) and Al Qaida), 2580/2001 (terror suspects), and 753/2011
(Afghanistan) including all amendments to these regulations.
On the other hand, there are EU embargo regulations for countries which include lists of names, e.g. for
countries such as Iran, Iraq, Congo (Democratic Republic), North Korea, Sudan, etc.
On the website of the responsible authorities of the EU member states, you can find the anti-terrorism
regulations as well as an up-to-date list of all country-specific embargo regulations, some of which include
lists of names in their annexes: http://www.bafa.de/DE/Aussenwirtschaft/Ausfuhrkontrolle/Embargos/

3 Which lists does AEB currently offer in the
Compliance solution?
AEB offers you an automatic update service as an integral part of your AEB Compliance solution. This update
is a fully automated background process without the need for any user interaction. AEB updates the current
versions of the restricted party lists daily and maintain them for you on a central server in the AEB data
center.
Currently, the extensive international list content is available to you as detailed in the following. This list
content is extended continuously. Additionally, AEB is working with some partner companies that also
provide lists for various countries.
Which lists your application checks depends on your license agreement. The scope of the update service is
thus tailored to your company’s individual needs.

3.4 Can AEB provide the German BMWi Frühwarnhinweise via data service?
The “early warning notifications” by the German Federal Ministry of Economics (BMWi) are not public and will
only be made available to the companies by the respective Chamber of Commerce in charge.
Therefore AEB is not allowed by law to distribute this list. The early warning notifications are not a standard
offering of AEB's partners either.
If you receive early warning notifications from the Chamber of Commerce and would like to screen against
them using the AEB Compliance solution, you can import the addresses as a manual sanctions list in the
software.
AEB also offers the import of the early warning notifications as a service, which requires you to provide the
list of early warning notifications.
