Council Decision (CFSP) 2017/666
of 6 April 2017
amending Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
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 from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1) On 27 May 2016, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2016/849(1) concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (the ‘DPRK’) which, inter alia, implemented United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016).
(2) On 30 November 2016, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2321 (2016), expressing its gravest concern at the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK on 9 September 2016 in violation of the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, further condemning the DPRK's ongoing nuclear and ballistic-missile activities and declaring them to be in serious violation of the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, and determining that such activities continue to represent a clear threat to international peace and security in the region and beyond.
(3) On 12 December 2016, the Council adopted conclusions strongly condemning the nuclear tests and multiple ballistic missile launches conducted by the DPRK in 2016 and declaring that they represent a serious threat to international peace and security and undermine the global non-proliferation and disarmament regime of which the Union has been a steadfast supporter for decades.
(4) In the light of the DPRK's actions, which are considered to be a grave threat to international peace and security in the region and beyond, the Council has decided to impose additional restrictive measures.
(5) The Council decided to expand the prohibition on investment in and with the DPRK to new sectors, namely, the conventional arms-related industry, metallurgy and metalworking, and aerospace.
(6) The Council agreed to prohibit the provision of certain services to persons or entities in the DPRK. This prohibition relates to computer and related services, to services incidental to mining, to services incidental to manufacturing in the chemical, mining and refining industry, and to other prohibited areas for investment from the Union.
(7) The Council calls again on the DPRK to re-engage in a credible and meaningful dialogue with the international community, in particular within the framework of the Six Party Talks, to cease its provocations, and to abandon all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programmes in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner.
(8) Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures provided for in this Decision.
(9) Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
(1)
Council Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 of 27 May 2016 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and repealing Decision 2013/183/CFSP (OJ L 141, 28.5.2016, p. 79).
