EuroChem wins legal battle as court lifts EU sanctions confusion
A recent court ruling has lifted restrictions on EuroChem Group AG, one of the world’s largest mineral fertiliser producers. The decision clarifies that the company itself was never subject to EU sanctions—only its founder, billionaire Andrey Melnichenko. This legal clarification now allows the firm to push for a return to normal business operations.
EuroChem’s assets had faced suspensions and freezes by operators, governments, and courts due to unclear EU guidance. Many counterparties had halted transactions, fearing potential sanctions violations. However, the October 29 ruling confirmed that EuroChem Group AG itself was never sanctioned, unlike its owner.
The court’s decision removes ambiguity over EuroChem’s status, allowing the company to seek normalised business ties. While the process may be gradual, the ruling provides a clearer path for resumed transactions with European counterparts. The firm now aims to rebuild trust and operational stability in the region.
