Overlapping circles representing different ministerial sectors. The sectors are foreign affairs, defence, and finance. There is a fourth circle, representing a functional sector - border control. The idea of the image is that customs agencies act outside their sector. Customs are usually under a ministry of finance, so they belong to the finance sector. Sanctions are under the ministry of foreign affairs. And the sanctioned item may have a military use, placing the problem in the intersection of the defence and foreign affars sectors. So customs agencies are financial actors solving defence and foreign affairs problems.
