HC Deb 28 July 2000 vol 354 c1086W
Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs under what criteria the Sanctions Committee on Yugoslavia stopped payments to the Yugoslav football team after Euro 2000. [133451]

Mr. Hain

The UN Sanctions Committee on Yugoslavia, established by Security Council resolution 1160 (1998), has responsibilities only in relation to the measures imposed by that resolution—an embargo on the sale or supply of arms and related material to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the arming and training for terrorist activities there. It has not considered any requests regarding payments to the Yugoslav football team.

There is a Management Committee for EU financial sanctions in relation to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. This Management Committee has not considered any requests for payments to the Yugoslav football team.
