The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is publishing a determination naming Cuba’s electronics, manufacturing, marine and technology sectors under section 2(a)(i)(A) of Executive Order 14404.
The office’s notice does not set out the determination’s operative text, effective date or detailed legal consequences. It therefore does not establish a blanket ban on dealings with those sectors.
The office also added TECNOSIME and CUBAELECTRONICA, both Havana-based state-owned enterprises, to its list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons under the Cuba-related order. It separately added the Cuba-flagged tankers EMILIA and GLORIA C to the list under the same order.
The Court of Appeal increased the minimum from 21 years to 25 years. After deducting 175 days spent on remand, it set an operative minimum of 24 years and 190 days.
