Tuesday, November 2nd - France added ten individuals to its sanctions list. (Here) Some of the names (e.g. M. Abdelkader BELHADJ DJELLOUL) were previously on the french sanctions list for six months followed by some time being off the list. This practice of France, in my opinion, makes the asset freezing less effective because the listed person had time to move its assets in between the two designation periods.
