The EU on Wednesday (20 December) decided to impose €400 million a year worth of trade sanctions on Belarus from mid-2007, in a decision unwelcome by pro-democracy workers in Belarus and its EU neighbour states.
The historic snub will see president Aleksander Luksahenko's country get kicked out of the EU's Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) on trade with tariffs imposed on wood and textile exports to the EU and with Burma the only other country ever to face GSP expulsion.
