THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism(1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 15 July 2008 the Council adopted Decision 2008/583/EC implementing Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism(2), establishing an updated list of persons, groups and entities to which that Regulation applies.
(2) The Council has provided all the persons, groups and entities for which it was practically possible with statements of reasons explaining why they were listed in Decision 2008/583/EC. In the case of one person an amended statement of reasons was provided in October 2008.
(3) By way of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (3) the Council informed the persons, groups and entities listed in Decision 2008/583/EC that it had decided to keep them on the list. The Council also informed the persons, groups and entities concerned that it was possible to request a statement of the Council’s reasons for putting them on the list where one had not already been communicated to them.
(4) The Council has carried out a complete review of the list of persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies, as required by Article 2(3) of that Regulation. When doing so it took account of observations submitted to the Council by those concerned.

(7) The list of the persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies should be updated accordingly,
