Overview of the adjustments to the export control clause between Festo Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG

Based on EU Regulation 833/2014, companies based in the EU and Switzerland are obliged to comply with the sanctions regulations against Russia.

In accordance with Article 12g of EU Regulation 833/2014, circumvention deliveries to Russia are now also prohibited and companies are therefore obliged to comply with these requirements accordingly.

As a result, from March 20, 2024, companies will be obliged to include a clause (No Russia Clause) in their contracts for the sale, supply, transfer or export of goods and technologies to third countries, which contractually prohibits re-export to Russia and re-export for use in Russia.

An internal assessment and classification of the Festo product portfolio was carried out internally. The information regarding affected goods can be found on our business documents.

In order to be able to continue the business relationship with our customers in a legally secure manner, confirmation from our customers is therefore required.
