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 the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)
On 18 January 2016 the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2016/441, which for the sake of clarity consolidated Council Regulation (EU) No 204/20112.
(2)

Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 conferred powers on the Council to amend Annex VI of that Regulation following a decision by the United Nations Security Council or Sanctions Committee. However, no such conferral was included in Regulation (EU) 2016/44.

(3)

Regulation (EU) 2016/44 should therefore be amended accordingly,
