THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Articles 60, 301 and 308 thereof,
Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/852/CFSP of
13 December 2004 concerning restrictive measures against
Côte d'Ivoire (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2), Whereas:

(1) In Resolution 1572 (2004) of 15 November 2004, the UN Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations and deploring the resumption of hostilities in Côte d'Ivoire and the repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement of 3 May

2003, decided to impose certain restrictive measures against Côte d'Ivoire.

(2) Common Position 2004/852/CFSP provides for imple- mentation of the measures set out in UN Security Council Resolution 1572 (2004), including the freezing of funds and economic resources of persons, designated by the competent United Nations Sanctions Committee, who constitute a threat to the peace and national recon- ciliation process in Côte d'Ivoire, in particular those who block implementation of the Linas-Marcoussis and Accra III Agreements, any other person determined as responsible for serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law in Côte d'Ivoire on the basis of relevant information, any other person who incites publicly hatred and violence, and any other person determined by the Committee to be in violation of the arms embargo also imposed by Resolution 1572 (2004).

(1) OJ L 368, 15.12.2004, p. 50.

(2) Opinion delivered on 24 February 2005 (not yet published in the

Official Journal).

(3) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in order to avoid any distortion of compe- tition, Community legislation is necessary to implement them as far as the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in the Treaty.

(4) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

REGULATIONS

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European
Union, and in particular Article 215(2) thereof,
Having regard to Decision 2010/656/CFSP of 29 October 2010 renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d'Ivoire (1), as amended by Decision 2011/18/CFSP of 14 January 2011 (2),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Represen­ tative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,
Whereas:

(1) Decision 2010/656/CFSP, as amended, provides for the adoption of restrictive measures against certain persons who, while not designated by the United Nations (UN) Security Council or the Sanctions Committee, are obstructing the process of peace and national recon­ ciliation in Côte d’Ivoire and in particular those who are jeopardising the proper outcome of the electoral process, as well as against legal persons, entities or bodies owned or controlled by such persons and persons, entities or bodies acting on their behalf or at their direction.

(2) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them.

(3) This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union

(1) OJ L 285, 30.10.2010, p. 28.

and notably the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial and the right to the protection of personal data. This Regulation should be applied in accordance with those rights and principles. This Regulation also fully respects the obligations of Member States under the Charter of the United Nations and the legally binding nature of the UN Security Council Resolutions.

(4) The power to amend the lists in Annexes I and IA to Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 should be exercised by the Council, in view of the specific threat to international peace and security posed by the situation in Côte d’Ivoire, and to ensure consistency with the process for amending and reviewing Annexes I and II to Decision

2010/656/CFSP.

(5) The procedure for amending the lists in Annexes I and IA to Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 should include providing designated natural or legal persons, entities or bodies with the grounds for listing, so as to give them an opportunity to submit observations. Where observations are submitted, or substantial new evidence is presented, the Council should review its decision in light of those observations and inform the person, entity or body concerned accordingly.

REGULATIONS

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European
Union, and in particular Article 215(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2011/72/CFSP of 31 January
2011 concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Tunisia (1),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Represen­ tative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission,
Whereas:

(1) Decision 2011/72/CFSP provides for the freezing of funds and economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by certain persons responsible for the misappropriation of Tunisian State funds, and persons associated with them, who are thus depriving the Tunisian people of the benefits of the sustainable development of their economy and society and under­ mining the development of democracy in the country. Those natural or legal persons, entities and bodies are listed in the Annex to the Decision.

(2) Those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.

(3) This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union

(1) OJ L 28, 2.2.2011, p. 62.

and notably the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial and the right to the protection of personal data. This Regulation should be applied in accordance with those rights.

(4) The power to amend the list in Annex I to this Regu­ lation should be exercised by the Council, in view of the specific threat to international peace and security posed by the situation in Tunisia, and to ensure consistency with the process for amending and reviewing the Annex to Decision 2011/72/CFSP.

(5) The procedure for amending the lists in Annex I to this Regulation should include providing designated natural or legal persons, entities or bodies with the grounds for the listing, so as to give them an opportunity to submit observations. Where observations are submitted, or substantial new evidence is presented, the Council should review its decision in light of those observations and inform the person, entity or body concerned accordingly.

(6) For the implementation of this Regulation, and in order to create maximum legal certainty within the Union, the names and other relevant data concerning natural and legal persons, entities and bodies whose funds and economic resources must be frozen in accordance with this Regulation, must be made public. Any processing of personal data should respect Regulation (EC) No

45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (2) and Directive
95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of indi­ viduals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (3).
