Funds and economic resources belonging to LOGARCHEO S.A., also known as LOGARCHEO AG, are no longer frozen under the European Union's Iraq sanctions regime.Europa The prohibition on making funds or economic resources available to that entity under the same regime no longer applies to it either.
Europa The change covers only this one entry; every other listing in Annex IV to Council Regulation (EC) No 1210/2003 stays in force.

The entity removed is identified in the deleted entry as LOGARCHEO S.A. (alias LOGARCHEO AG), of Chemin du Carmel, 1661 Le Paquier-Montbarry, Switzerland, with Swiss Federal No CH-2 17-0-431-423-3. Screening teams should retire exactly this entry from their Iraq-regime lists, including both name forms and the address and federal-number identifiers, so that future alerts on these identifiers no longer resolve to a live Annex IV listing. Counterparties may transact with the entity free of this Iraq-regime freeze, subject to any other sanctions regime or national measure that may independently apply.Europa
The delisting follows the decision of the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council of 5 October 2026 to remove one entity from the list of persons and entities subject to the assets freezeEuropa. The Commission gives that decision effect in Union law through Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2388
Europa of 21 October 2026, adopted on the basis of Article 11(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1210/2003. Annex IV to that Regulation lists the natural and legal persons, bodies and entities associated with the regime of former President Saddam Hussein that are covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources and by the prohibition on making funds or economic resources available. Regulation 2026/2388 amends that Annex by deleting entry 97, the LOGARCHEO entry.
Europa
The delisting Regulation enters into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Published on 23 October 2026Europa, it therefore applies from 24 October 2026
Europa. It is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States, so no national transposition is needed before institutions give effect to the removal.
Compliance teams holding a freeze on LOGARCHEO assets should document the release: record the delisting instrument, the date the freeze lifted, and the basis for concluding that no other live listing or regime continues to cover the same funds. Keep the audit trail even after the list entry disappears from screening feeds, since supervisors and auditors will expect evidence that the frozen position was reviewed at the point of delisting rather than silently dropped. Where a transaction with the entity was previously refused or a payment held because of this listing, reassess the case on the current list position.
Legal basis is Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2388 of 21 October 2026 amending Annex IV to Council Regulation (EC) No 1210/2003.
Retire entry 97 for LOGARCHEO S.A./AG from Iraq-regime screening lists and release any funds frozen solely under that listing with effect from 24 October 2026.
