Restrictions under Article 3k(1) of Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 typically allow two paths. First, a wind-down period for contracts concluded before the cut-off date, to finalise execution contracts. Second, derogations granted by the competent national authority for narrowly defined purposes (for example medical, humanitarian or safety). The exact conditions and deadlines are set only by the current act text on EUR-Lex.
