(2) Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 gives effect to the measures provided for in Decision 2012/642/CFSP.
(3) Council Decision (CFSP) 2022/XXX 3 expands the scope of the sanctions to further implement the conclusions of the European Council of 24 March 2022 following the involvement of Belarus in the unacceptable and illegal Russian military aggression against Ukraine, which under international law qualifies as an act of aggression.
(4) In view of the gravity of the situation, it appears necessary to take additional measures. Consequently, Decision (CFSP) 2022/xxxx expands the list of entities subject to restrictions with regard to authorizations for the sale, supply, transfer or export of dual-use goods and technology and goods and technology which might contribute to Belarus’s military and technological enhancement, or to the development of its defence and security sector. Council Decision (CFSP) 2022/XXX also expands the list of Belarusian credit institutions and their Belarusian subsidiaries subject to restrictive measures with regard to the provision of specialised financial messaging services.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
