We all saw the blockade of the straits near DU by DU cargo ship companies threatening the economy and trade and I would never introduce stringent economic penalties in my acts again as a result. However it does not stop others from doing so threatening economic stability in the future. Therefore I propose this amendment to protect the economy of Europe from such dangers.
