Council Decision (CFSP) 2016/478
of 31 March 2016
amending Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1) On 31 July 2015, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333(1).
(2) On 16 March 2015, the Council recalled that only a political solution can provide a sustainable way forward and contribute to peace and stability in Libya and it referred inter alia to the importance of refraining from actions that could exacerbate current divisions.
(3) The Council remains gravely concerned about the situation in Libya and in particular about acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Libya, and that obstruct or undermine the successful completion of Libya's political transition, such as acts that obstruct the implementation of the Libyan Political Agreement of 17 December 2015 and the formation of a Government of National Accord, including through a repeated failure to take action by persons with political influence in Libya.
(4) In view of the gravity of the situation in Libya, three additional persons should be added for a period of 6 months to the list of persons subject to restrictive measures as set out in Annexes II and IV to Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333.
(5) Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
(1)
Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333 of 31 July 2015 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya, and repealing Decision 2011/137/CFSP (OJ L 206, 1.8.2015, p. 34).
