In April 2024, the Republic of Türkiye has imposed sanctions on Israel, banning the export of 54 product groups (identified for potential military use) in response to Israel’s failure to comply with the binding decisions of the United Nations Security Council and the International Court of Justice. A month later, Türkiye announced that they extended the trade ban on Israel to an exportation and importation restriction covering all products.
While specific penalties for non-compliance have not been specified, it has been reported that in practice no products coming from Israel or destined for Israel are processed at Turkish customs. The penalties for and requirements arising from the non-compliance are expected to be announced shortly.

On 21 May 2024, the European Council (or Council) adopted the so-called ‘Hydrogen and decarbonised gas market package’ (the Gas Package). The package contains a recast of the 715/2009 gas regulation (Gas Regulation) and a recast of the 2009/73 gas directive (Gas Directive) aimed at reforming the existing EU regulatory framework to support the deployment of renewable and low-carbon gases, in particular hydrogen. As such, it represents a major development in the EU gas market.
