Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine gives effect to restrictive measures provided for in Decision 2014/145/CFSP.
On XX YY 2022, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) XXX/XXX amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP, whereby it introduced a further criterion for the listing of natural or legal persons, entities or bodies subject to asset freeze and the prohibition to make funds and economic resources available to designated persons and entities. Decision (CFSP) XXX/XXX also introduced further derogations to the asset freeze and the prohibition to make funds and economic resources available with respect to certain listed entities and included additional provisions on Member States’ obligations concerning the granting of derogations.
These amendments fall within the scope of the Treaty and therefore regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application in all Member States.
The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission propose to amend Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 accordingly.
