EU says yes to sanctions against N. Korea: officials

The measures range from financial measures to travel bans and asset freezes against individuals.

The sanctions include the implementation of individual sanctions approved at U.N. level as well as EU restrictions on financial dealings and trade sanctions on items potentially linked to Pyonyang's ballistic and nuclear programs, the source said.

“It is a tough package that aims to mark our opposition to the nuclear test,” conducted by Pyonyang on Feb. 12, said a senior EU diplomat who asked not to be named.

The U.N. Security Council on Jan. 22 ordered expanded sanctions against North Korea, adding its state space agency, a bank, four trading companies and four individuals to an existing U.N. sanctions list.
