However, it is more critical of how the implementation of the sanctions was accompanied and monitored in the specific case.

In the opinion of the Senate Audit Commission, the federal authorities clarified the cantons' ambiguities regarding the implementation of the Russia sanctions too late. The Commission also regrets that the assets of the natural and legal persons affected by the sanctions could not be more closely monitored in the first months after the sanctions were imposed due to insufficient resources of State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco).
The Federal Council must take a position by mid-February.
