Person:notes | Niels Troost is a Dutch businessperson and the sole shareholder of EZI-DIAROC. EZI-DIAROC is the sole shareholder of Paramount Energy and Commodities SA (PECSA). PECSA controls the Dubai-based subsidiary Paramount Energy and Commodities DMCC (Paramount DMCC). In June 2022, Paramount DMCC took over and continued without interruption PECSA’s oil business vis-à-vis Russia, underlining close and direct operational and strategic control of PECSA over its subsidiary, Paramount DMCC. Paramount DMCC repeatedly traded Russian crude oil above the oil price cap after its introduction. Moreover, Niels Troost is affiliated with Livna Shipping Ltd, which has been trading crude oil above the oil price cap after its introduction. Through his ownership of Paramount DMCC, the control structure of Paramount DMCC and his affiliation with Livna Shipping Ltd, Niels Troost thus facilitated infringements of the prohibition against circumvention of the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 and Decision 2014/512/CFSP. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-86804 | ||||
