These Regulations make provision relating to the enforcement of Council Regulation (EU) No. 667/2010 of 26 July 2010 (OJ L 195, 27.7.2010, p.16) concerning restrictive measures in respect of Eritrea (“the Council Regulation”).
The measures include the freezing of funds and economic resources of designated persons and ensuring that funds and economic resources are not made available to them or for their benefit.
Regulation 2 defines a designated person as any person named in Annex I to the Council Regulation (as amended from time to time).
Regulations 3 to 7 provide prohibitions against dealing with the funds or economic resources of a designated person or making funds or economic resources available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of, a designated person.
Regulation 8 provides an exception to the prohibitions in regulations 4 and 5 where a frozen account is credited for a permitted reason.
Regulation 9 provides a licensing procedure to enable funds and economic resources to be exempted from the prohibitions.
Regulation 10 makes it an offence to breach any of the prohibitions in regulations 3 to 7 or to seek to circumvent those prohibitions. Regulations 12 to 15 contain provisions about penalties, proceedings and who, in relation to bodies corporate and other bodies, may be prosecuted for an offence under the Regulations.
