"The European Court of Justice rejected in full the appeal against the court decision of September 13, 2018," TASS quotes the text of the decision.

In 2018, an EU court dismissed a claim by Rosneft and a number of other companies against the EU Council.

He has now upheld his previous decision, according to which "reasonably justified reasons" were provided for the imposition of the sanctions measures.

The appeal process lasted almost two years.

In July 2014, the EU imposed sectoral economic sanctions against Russia in connection with the annexation of Crimea and the events in southeastern Ukraine.

Restrictive measures have affected enterprises in the defense, energy and financial sectors.
