of 13 October 2011
amending Decision 2011/273/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria (repealed)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Whereas:
On 9 May 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/273/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria.1
In view of the gravity of the situation in Syria, an additional entity should be subject to the restrictive measures set out in Decision 2011/273/CFSP with a view to preventing that entity from using funds or economic resources presently owned, held or controlled by it in order to provide financial support to the Syrian regime, whilst allowing on a temporary basis for frozen funds or economic resources subsequently received by that entity to be used in connection with the financing of trade with non-designated persons and entities.
Decision 2011/273/CFSP should be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
