A second verification point for rough diamonds is to be established in Botswana to ensure sanctioned Russian goods do not enter G7 countriesAnd there are moves to set up further nodes, or verification points, in Namibia, Angola and other African diamond-producing countries. The new Botswana verification point will open some time next year, said the EC in a statement.
Antwerp has operated as the sole verification point for rough goods entering the G7 (and the EU) countries since 1 March.
That was despite widespread concerns from almost all quarters over delays and additional expenses, including the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) which was tasked with administering the checks.
