EU Sanctions Helpdesk

Brussels, Belgium

Hi, I am Dimitrios Chaidas. Join me at the EU Sanctions Helpdesk's stand and discover how European SMEs can benefit from the free services of the Helpdesk.

My organisation

The EU Sanctions Helpdesk assists European operators, particularly SMEs, in complying with European Union sanctions imposed worldwide. Created in 2025, the heart of the Helpdesk is the Support Service, which offers personalised help to companies performing sanctions due diligence checks. The Helpdesk team also manages a website with sanctions-related information, events, tips, lessons learned, and more. The services of the EU Sanctions Helpdesk are provided free of charge to EU SMEs and are designed to help them streamline sanctions compliance, prevent over-compliance and to build confidence with financial partners.
