New law authorises dawn raids in dual-use and EU sanctions cases
The Danish Parliament has passed a Bill allowing the Danish Business Authority access to conduct dawn raids without a court order in cases involving dual-use and EU sanctions. The new law will enter into force on 1 January 2021.
The law is a significant tightening of Danish administrative enforcement in relation to dual-use and EU sanctions cases. Export businesses and transport operators, in particular, should pay attention to the new rules, which also authorises a penalty against persons and businesses that refuse to assist in the investigations to be conducted by the Authority under the law.
We wrote about the new law in our news article of 13 November 2020: Upcoming New law authorising dawn raids in dual use and EU sanctions cases.
