EU Sanctions on Zimbabwe - Interview with Chris Patten

The European Union has significantly widened its sanctions against Zimbabwe to the whole of the ruling elite. At a ruling in Brussels, ministers added 52 politicians and senior business figures from Zimbabwe to the sanctions list of last February. They too will face a travel ban and an asset freeze anywhere in the EU. The EU already has sanctions against President Mugabe and 19 colleagues in an effort to force political change and respect for human rights.
