Council Regulation (EU) No 56/2012
of 23 January 2012
amending Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 on restrictive measures against Iran (repealed)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2012/35/CFSP of 23 January 2012 amending Decision 2010/413/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Iran(1),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 25 October 2010, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 961/2010(2) confirming the restrictive measures taken since 2007 and providing for additional restrictive measures against Iran in order to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 1929 (2010) and accompanying measures as requested by the European Council in its Declaration of 17 June 2010.
(2) These restrictive measures included the freezing of the assets of certain persons and entities.
(3) On 23 January 2012 the Council adopted Decision 2012/35/CFSP by which it added to the list of targeted persons or entities financial institutions, in relation to which specific derogations were provided concerning the financing of trade.
(4) Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(5) It is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EU) No 961/2010, in order to incorporate the above-mentioned derogations.
(6) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, the latter should enter into force on the day of its publication,
