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 2011/412/CFSP of 12 July 2011 amending Decision 2010/656/CFSP renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire ,
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

On 29 October 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/656/CFSP renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 174/2005 imposed restrictions on the supply of assistance related to military activities to Côte d’Ivoire.
