THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 of 27 March 2007 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and in particular Article 13(1)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 lists persons, entities and bodies who, having been designated by the Sanctions Committee or the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), are covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.
(2)
On 21 March 2016, the Security Council Committee decided pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) that four vessels specified in United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2270 (2016), are not economic resources controlled or operated by Ocean Maritime Management and therefore not subject to the asset freeze imposed by UNSCR 1718 (2006).
(3)
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 should therefore be updated accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
