COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1323/2014

of 12 December 2014

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 2013/255/CFSP of 31 May 2013 concerning restrictive measures against Syria (1),

Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Council Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 (2) gives effect to most of the measures provided for in Decision 2013/255/CFSP.
 

(2)

On 12 December 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/901/CFSP (3) amending Decision 2013/255/CFSP in order to prevent jet fuels and additives being sold, supplied, transferred or exported, whether or not originating in the Union, to any person, entity or body in Syria, or for use in Syria.
 

(3)

Furthermore, it should be prohibited to provide financing or financial assistance, including financial derivatives, as well as insurance and reinsurance or brokering services, to any person, entity or body in Syria or for use in Syria with respect to the sale, supply, transfer or export of jet fuels and additives in Syria, or for use in Syria.
 

(4)

It is necessary to provide for a prohibition on the participation, knowing and intentional, in activities the object or effect of which is to circumvent the provisions of this Regulation.
 

(5)

It is necessary to amend the no claims clause provided for in Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 in accordance with the wording of the Guidelines on implementation and evaluation of restrictive measures (sanctions) in the framework of the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy.
 

(6)

These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them.
 

(7)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
