Council Regulation (EU) 2015/613
of 20 April 2015
amending Regulation (EC) No 1183/2005 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against persons acting in violation of the arms embargo with regard to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 889/2005
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 2010/788/CFSP of 20 December 2010 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic Republic of the Congo and repealing Common Position 2008/369/CFSP(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) Council Regulation (EC) No 1183/2005(2) gives effect to Decision 2010/788/CFSP and provides for certain measures directed against persons acting in violation of the arms embargo with regard to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (‘DRC’), including the freezing of their assets.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 889/2005(3) imposes certain restrictive measures regarding the prohibition on providing technical and financial assistance related to military activities in the DRC, in accordance with Council Decision 2010/788/CFSP.
(3) United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2198 (2015) amended the criteria for the designation of persons and entities subject to the restrictive measures set out in paragraphs 9 and 11 of UNSCR 1807 (2008). By Decision (CFSP) 2015/620(4), the Council decided to extend the scope of those criteria accordingly.
(4) That measure falls within the scope of the Treaty and regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement it, in particular with a view to ensuring its uniform application by economic operators in all Member States. Consequently, Regulation (EC) No 1183/2005 should be amended accordingly.
(5) The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 889/2005 should be integrated into Regulation (EC) No 1183/2005 and Regulation (EC) No 889/2005 should be repealed.
(6) Some provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1183/2005 should also be updated to reflect standard wording used in recent legal acts on restrictive measures concerning liability, satisfaction of claims, and circumvention of prohibitions.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1183/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly,
