Sorry about the "[...]" spam, EU regulation is extremely wordy and this text box does not fit the giant ass paragraphs contained therein.
Customary international law, as reflected in Article 22 and Articles 49 to 53 of the ARSIWA, allows, under certain conditions such as proportionality and prior notice, the imposition of countermeasures, namely measures that would otherwise be contrary to the international obligations of an injured party vis-à-vis the country responsible for a breach of international law, and that are aimed at obtaining the cessation of the breach or reparation for it. Accordingly, Union response measures could consist, as necessary, not only in measures consistent with the Union’s international obligations, but also in the non-performance of international obligations towards the third country concerned insofar as the economic coercion by the third country constitutes an internationally wrongful act. Under international law, in accordance with the principle of proportionality, countermeasures are to be commensurate with the injury suffered, taking into account the gravity of the internationally wrongful act and the rights in question. In that respect, injury to the Union or a Member State is understood under international law to include injury to Union economic operators.
