ANNEX

(1) The entity listed below shall be inserted in the list set out in Part I of Annex II to Decision 2010/413/CFSP:

I. Persons and entities involved in nuclear or ballistic missile activities and persons and entities providing support to the Government of Iran

B. Entities
	Name	Identifying information	Reasons	Date of listing
105.	Bank Tejarat	Postal Address: Taleghani Br. 130, Taleghani Ave. P.O. Box: 11365 -5416, Tehran; Tel. 88826690; Tlx.: 226641 TJTA IR; Fax 88893641; Website: http://www.tejaratbank.ir	Bank Tejarat provides significant support to the Government of Iran by offering financial resources and financing services for oil and gas development projects. The oil and gas sector constitutes a significant source of funding for the Government of Iran and several projects financed by Bank Tejarat are carried out by subsidiaries of entities owned and controlled by the Government of Iran. In addition, Bank Tejarat remains partly owned by and closely linked to the Government of Iran which is therefore in a position to influence Bank Tejarat's decisions, including its involvement in the financing of projects regarded by the Iranian Government as a high priority. Furthermore, as Bank Tejarat provides financing to various crude oil productions and refining projects which necessarily require the acquisition of key equipment and technology for those sectors whose supply for use in Iran is prohibited, Bank Tejarat can be identified as being involved in the procurement of prohibited goods and technology.	8.4.2015
