通过国际保赔协会集团发布的《常见问题解答》（FAQs），会员应该已经知悉，一旦欧盟禁令于2012年7月1日生效后，将对原产于伊朗的原油和石油产品货物的贸易及相关保赔保险产生的影响。期间媒体中有不少推测，认为欧盟可能会延期实行禁令。对此，欧盟理事会于6月25日发布新闻确认，从2012年7月1日起禁止为履行2012年1月23日前签订的贸易合同而进口和运输的伊朗原油，安排P&I责任保险。
贸易和保险禁令
根据条例第11条1(d)和第12条(2)，协会将被禁止向任何会员提供运输原产于伊朗的原油或石油产品的航次保险，无论货物的最终目的地是否在欧盟境内。
燃油
正如《常见问题解答》(FAQs)中所指出的，禁令不仅适用于运输作为货物的原油和石油产品，同时适用于加载伊朗燃油。因此，不仅仅是油轮，所有类型的船舶都可能受到贸易或保险禁令的约束。

Iran Sanctions – EU prohibitions with effect from 1 July 2012
Members have previously been informed through FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) prepared by the International Group of the impact of the prohibitions on trading with cargoes of crude oil and petroleum products originating from Iran and on associated P&I cover once the prohibitions become effective on 1 July 2012. Whilst there has been some speculation in the media of a possible deferral of the implementation date for the prohibitions, the Council of the European Union issued a press release on 25 June confirming that the exemptions relating to pre-23 January 2012 contracts for importing and transporting Iranian oil and the provision of P&I insurance cover for the transport of Iranian oil by EU regulated insurers will cease and such activities will be prohibited (as provided for under the Regulation) with effect from 1 July 2012.
Trade and insurance prohibition
Pursuant to the provisions of Articles 11 1 (d) and 12 (2) of the Regulation, the Association will be prohibited from providing cover to any member/s in respect of voyages transporting crude oil or petroleum products if they originate in Iran regardless of whether the final destination of the cargo is within or outside of the EU.
Bunkers
As stated in the FAQs, the prohibitions will apply not only to the carriage of crude oil and petroleum products as cargo but also to bunker stems of Iranian origin. Consequently it is not just tankers but potentially all vessel types which may be subject to trading or insurance cover prohibitions.
