Whereas:

Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2016/44 lists vessels designated by the United Nations Sanctions Committee in accordance with paragraph 11 of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2146 (2014).

(3)
As the vessel Lynn S is the second vessel listed in Annex V, the list of vessels should be numbered.

In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force immediately,
