European Union diplomats said the package includes restrictions on Russian banks, measures to strengthen the G7 oil price cap, a Russian aluminium import ban and new export bans.
ALUMINIUM
* The package bans imports of primary Russian aluminium. The ban will come into effect one year after the legislation is published in the EU's Official Journal next week.
* During the phase-in period, the EU will be able to import a limited volume of 275,000 tonnes.
OIL AND GAS RESTRICTIONS
* Seventy-three vessels have been added, most of them oil tankers, bringing the total to 152 ships.
* Prohibition on transactions with Russian ports and airports used for the circumvention of the oil price cap and the transfer of drone and missile components.
* A service ban for oil and gas refineries.
* New criteria for future sanctions listings to include owners and operators of the shadow fleet, ship captains as well as support for the military.
VIDEO GAMES
* Countries agreed new restrictions on sales of video game consoles, and other entertainment tools like flight simulators and joysticks, which can be re-purposed as controllers for drones.
* The measure will impact sales of consoles including Microsoft's Xbox, Nintendo's Switch and Sony's PlayStation.
BANKS
* The EU is piling pressure on Russia's regional banks for their role in sanctions circumvention.
* The new package removes access to the global bank messaging network SWIFT for 13 lenders and bans transactions with three Russian banks.
MANUFACTURING
