table>(1)On 18 January 2012, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 (2) with a view to giving effect to most of the measures provided for in Decision 2011/782/CFSP.
(2)In view of the continued brutal repression and violation of human rights by the Government of Syria, Council Decision 2012/206/CFSP (3), amending Decision 2011/782/CFSP, provides for additional measures, namely a prohibition or prior authorisation requirement on the sale, supply, transfer or export of goods and technology which might be used for internal repression, and a ban on exports of luxury goods to Syria.

(4)Therefore, Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 should be amended to give effect to the new measures,
