Blocking Statute	Council Regulation (EC) No 2271/96 — the EU blocking statute — protects EU operators from the extra-territorial application of third-country sanctions laws, including U.S. sanctions in certain contexts.	EU-incorporated organizations operating in the U.S. must navigate the interaction of OFAC obligations and the EU blocking statute with legal counsel.
