EU officer: European Union Council may rapidly expand Ukraine-related blacklist

BRUSSELS. Nov 14 (Interfax) - A decision to expand the individual sanctions list related to the Ukrainian crisis may take effect very quickly, before the end of the week, if it is approved by EU foreign ministers at the Monday meeting of the European Union Council, a senior official told reporters on Brussels on Friday on the condition of anonymity.

The procedure will be quite different for economic measures, which will take more time, the official added.
