Mission & Purpose

The European Union Blacklist is a Non-Profit organisation which has been established to maintain a list of both Grey-Listed and Black-Listed companies and individuals. We work with a variety of global banks, institutions and corporations on an invitation only basis.

The EUB was formed in order to maintain a trusted database of companies and individuals on an impartial basis, and our datasets are shared with Banks, Institutions, Governments, NGOs in Europe, The United States, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

About Us

Principles & Values

 

Human Dignity
Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected, protected and constitutes the real basis of fundamental rights.

Freedom
Individual freedoms such as respect for private life, freedom of thought, religion, assembly, expression and information are protected by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Democracy
The functioning of the EU is founded on representative democracy. A European citizen automatically enjoys political rights. Every adult EU citizen has the right to stand as a candidate and to vote in elections to the European Parliament. EU citizens have the right to stand as a candidate and to vote in their country of residence, or in their country of origin.

Equality
Equality is about equal rights for all citizens before the law. The principle of equality between women and men underpins all European policies and is the basis for European integration. It applies in all areas. The principle of equal pay for equal work became part of the Treaty of Rome in 1957.

Rule of Law
The EU is based on the rule of law. Everything the EU does is founded on treaties, voluntarily and democratically agreed by its EU countries. Law and justice are upheld by an independent judiciary. The EU countries gave final jurisdiction to the European Court of Justice – its judgments have to be respected by all.

In Solidarity with Ukraine

The EU Stands United In Its Solidarity With Ukraine And Will Continue To Support Ukraine And Its People, together With Its International Partners, Including Through Additional Political, Financial And Humanitarian Support.

The EU Has Reacted Swiftly And Decisively To Russia’s Aggression By Adopting Further Restrictive Measures In Response, That Will Have Massive And Severe Consequences For Russia.

Blacklisting Criteria

Used To Identify Corporates And Individuals Dealing With Our Partnered Banks, Financial Institutions, Governments, NGOs And Multinational Corporations

Misrepresentation
& Fraud

This is one of the main areas we cover under the EUB Guidelines 2022. The List covers companies or individuals who have misrepresented information, or provided fraudulent documentation or claims to any of our partnered Institutions, Governments, NGOs, Corporations, Banks, Financial Institutions.

Anti-Money Laundering

We have access to globally updated lists for companies that are suspected of being involved in Anti-Money Laundering Activities. Our partnered institutions use us to check that corporates or individuals they are dealing with do not, or have ever been on any such lists in the past.

Dealing with Blacklisted Entities

Any company who has facilitated or entered into any transactions, either directly or indirectly, can be present on this Directory Criteria. This includes dealing with sanctioned, blacklisted or prohibited Companies, Individuals or Nations, as per the regulations of the European Union, in coordination with International Sanctions Lists.

Non-Performance & Breach of Protocol

The newest criteria of the EUB came into force in November 2021, in order for Banks, Financial Institutions and Global Monetary Institutions to compile and share lists of Companies or Individuals that have wasted significant time or resources, by not performing on Financing or Facility Agreements, or breaching European Laws and Protocols on Finance. This category must include evidence of Financial Loss by the Reporting Party.

Please note that the above are only the four most popular criteria under which the EUB either Grey-Lists or Black-Lists companies. In reality, the EUB maintains a 500-Point Ledger which highlights several defaults or complaints that can be made of any company, corporate or individual. This list can only be accessed by our partnered institutions, and is not available to the general public.

As per EU Regulations, any company placed on the list is notified immediately, and is provided the opportunity to respond to the allegations which have been made against them. Please read our FAQ page for more information
