of 8 September 2014
amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Whereas:
On 30 August 2014, the European Council expressed its concern over the ongoing and increasingly intense fighting in Eastern Ukraine and requested a new provision for the listing of every person and institution dealing with the separatist groups in the Donbass region.
In addition, the Council considers that additional natural and legal persons should be added to the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures as set out in the Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP.
In view of the continuing undermining or threatening of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, Decision 2014/145/CFSP should be renewed for a further six months.
Decision 2014/145/CFSP should be amended accordingly.
Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement these measures,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
