The following scenarios are constructed using as parameters the criteria that guided the design of the EU sanctions package, specified in a joint letter by the President of the European Council and the European Commission. These include: “effectiveness, cost/benefit, balance across sectors and Member States, international coordination, reversibility/scalability, legal defensibility/ease of enforcement”. The following scenarios are designed as possible options, and conceived in a neutral fashion. Each scenario includes an assessment of the likelihood that each will materialise.
