ROHMA ensures that companies in the commodities sector meet international embargoes in accordance with the Federal Law on the Implementation of International Sanctions (Embargo Act).
Through the application of their supply chain due diligence, companies active in the commodities sector are required to ensure that the raw materials in which they trade are not obtained in violation of international sanctions. They are also obliged under the Embargo Act to ensure that their sales do not violate international sanctions.
As a result of its investigative powers, thanks to the analyses submitted by the specialized auditors, or through the examination of companies’ internal procedures, the supervisory authority has various means at its disposal to ensure compliance. Corporate offenders may be punished in accordance with the Embargo Act. In severe cases, ROHMA may also withdraw a company’s license.
