table>(1)On 18 January 2012 the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria (2) with a view to giving effect to most of the measures provided for in Decision 2011/782/CFSP. That Regulation prohibits, inter alia, the provision of certain financing and financial assistance related to goods subject to an export prohibition.
(2)Decision 2012/322/CFSP amending Decision 2011/782/CFSP (3), further develops the application of restrictive measures related to financial assistance in the context of the arms embargo.

(3)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.

(4)Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5)In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force immediately,
