The obligation is framed as a representation and warranty, meaning a breach is not merely a policy violation but a false statement that can trigger additional contractual consequences.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains an ellipsis after 'European Union', indicating additional sanctioning jurisdictions are listed in the full clause.

The representation-and-warranty framing is noted in omitted_material as an independent legal proposition not stated in the canonical claim.
