COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 325/2013
of 10 April 2013
amending Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2012/739/CFSP of 29 November 2012 concerning restrictive measures against Syria (1),
Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
On 18 January 2012, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 (2) in order to give effect to Council Decision 2011/782/CFSP of 1 December 2011 concerning restrictive measures against Syria (3). |
(2) |
On 29 November 2012, the Council adopted Decision 2012/739/CFSP which repealed and replaced Decision 2011/782/CFSP. |
(3) |
Decision 2012/739/CFSP includes a ban on the purchase, import or transport of arms and related material of all types, and financing or financial assistance for the purchase, import or transport of such items. |
(4) |
That Decision also provides for the possibility to allow the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources where they are required to satisfy a judicial or administrative decision rendered in the Union, or a judicial decision enforceable in a Member State, prior to or after the date of designation of the natural or legal persons, entities or bodies concerned. |
(5) |
Decision 2012/739/CFSP also provides for derogations from certain restrictive measures for the sole purpose of evacuating citizens of the Union and their family members from Syria. |
(6) |
In view of the specific circumstances in Syria, Decision 2012/739/CFSP provides for restrictions on access to airports of all exclusively cargo flights operated by Syrian carriers and all flights operated by Syrian Arab Airlines. |
(7) |
On 28 February 2013, the Council adopted Decision 2013/109/CFSP amending Decision 2012/739/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria (4). |
(8) |
Decision 2013/109/CFSP includes additional derogations in relation to the sale, supply, transfer or export of equipment which might be used for internal repression and to the provision of technical assistance. |
(9) |
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. |
(10) |
It is furthermore necessary to update Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 with the latest information provided by Member States regarding the identification of competent authorities and with the address of the European Commission. |
(11) |
Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 is amended as follows:
(1) |
Article 2(3) is replaced by the following: ‘3. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the competent authorities in the Member States, as identified on the websites listed in Annex III, may authorise the sale, supply, transfer or export of equipment which might be used for internal repression, under such conditions as they deem appropriate, if they determine that:
