BRUSSELS: The European Union may be forced for legal reasons to drop sanctions on some members of the ousted Ukraine regime of president Victor Yanukovych, an EU official said Friday.
Last spring, the EU froze the assets of Yanukovych, his two sons and most of his former ministers, with a total of 22 people being accused of misappropriating public funds.
But a senior EU official said that, from a legal point of view, there is an "obvious" problem if Ukraine itself drops the cases against some of the officials -- as it may soon do amid reports that inquiries have ground to a halt.
"We now got news from our counterparts in Kiev, from the judicial authorities, that some of these people will not be investigated any more," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
"So then comes the question of whether we should delist or not delist these people," the official said.
"For some of them there is no more inquiry. For others the inquiry is going on but maybe under other evidence or substantiation."
The official spoke after a Wall Street Journal report on Thursday quoted diplomats as saying that the EU was likely to drop sanctions on three Ukrainians because the cases against them in Ukraine "have run out of steam."
The newspaper said the EU's lawyers had also raised concerns about asset freezes on another 13 people who may not have been correctly informed by Ukrainian authorities about the cases against them.
In May, Yanukovych and his two sons filed suit in European courts against the sanctions, saying the EU lacked a "proper legal basis" for imposing them.
In addition to former Ukrainian officials, the EU has also imposed sanctions on separatist entities and individuals in rebel-held eastern Ukraine.
