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 Common Position 2002/402/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Usama bin Laden, members of the Al-Qaida organisation and the Taliban and other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with them and repealing Common Positions 96/746/CFSP, 1999/727/CFSP, 2001/154/CFSP and 2001/771/CFSP(1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Whereas:
-
(1)On 16 January 2002, the Security Council of the United Nations adopted Resolution 1390(2002) determining that the Taliban had failed to respond to its demands made in a number of previous resolutions and condemning the Taliban for allowing Afghanistan to be used as a base for terrorist training and activities and also condemning the Al-Qaida network and other associated terrorist groups for their terrorist acts and destruction of property.
-
(2)The Security Council decided, inter alia, that the flight ban and certain export restrictions imposed on Afghanistan further to its Resolutions 1267(1999) and 1333(2000) should be repealed and that the scope of the freezing of funds and the prohibition on funds being made available, which were imposed further to these Resolutions, should be adjusted. It also decided that a prohibition on providing the Taliban and the Al-Qaida organisation with certain services related to military activities should be applied. In accordance with paragraph 3 of Resolution 1390(2002), those measures will be reviewed by the Security Council 12 months after adoption of the resolution and at the end of this period the Security Council will either allow the measures to continue or decide to improve them.
-
(3)In this regard, the Security Council recalled the obligation to implement in full its Resolution 1373(2001) with regard to any member of the Taliban and the Al-Qaida organisation, but also with regard to those who are associated with them and have participated in the financing, planning, facilitation, preparation or perpetration of terrorist acts.
-
(4)These measures fall under the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement the relevant decisions of the Security Council as far as the territory of 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 that Treaty.

(5)In order to create maximum legal certainty within the Community, the names and other relevant data with regard to natural or legal persons, groups or entities whose funds should...
