Council Regulation (EU) No 641/2012
of 16 July 2012
amending Regulation (EU) No 356/2010 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain natural or legal persons, entities or bodies, in view of the situation in Somalia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215(1) and (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2010/231/CFSP of 26 April 2010 concerning restrictive measures against Somalia(1),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 356/2010(2) imposes restrictive measures against the persons entities and bodies identified in Annex I to that Regulation, as provided for in United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1844 (2008).
(2) On 22 February 2012, the UN Security Council adopted UNSCR 2036 (2012), by which it confirms its assessment, in paragraph 23, that the export of charcoal from Somalia may pose a threat to the peace, security or stability of Somalia.
(3) On 17 February 2012, the Security Council Sanctions Committee established pursuant to UNSCR 751 (1992) concerning Somalia updated the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures.
(4) On 16 July 2012, the Council adopted Decision 2012/388/CFSP(3), to give effect to UNSCR 751 (1992) by adding one further person to the list of persons and entities subject to the restrictive measures in Decision 2010/231/CFSP.
(5) This measure falls within the scope of the Treaty and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement it, in particular with a view to ensuring its uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(6) Additionally, UNSCR 2002 (2011) clarified the exemption, already provided for in Regulation (EU) No 356/2010, permitting the making available of funds, other financial assets or economic resources necessary to ensure the timely delivery of urgently needed humanitarian assistance in Somalia by the UN, its specialised agencies or programmes, humanitarian organisations having observer status with the United Nations General Assembly that provide humanitarian assistance, and their implementing partners. This clarification should be included in Regulation (EU) No 356/2010.
(7) Regulation (EU) No 356/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly,
