On the basis of Common Position 2004/852/CFSP, Council Regulation (EC) No 174/2005, as amended, introduced a ban on the supply of technical and financial assistance relating to military activities to Côte d’Ivoire, in order to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1572 (2004). It also provided for a ban on the export of internal repression equipment to Côte d’Ivoire, as well as related technical and financial assistance. Common Position 2004/852/CFSP has since been replaced by Council Decision 2010/656/CFSP.
Council Decision 2012/[…]/CFSP of […] amends Council Decision 2010/656/CFSP as regards the scope of the arms embargo in light of UNSCR 2045 (2012).
The High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission propose to give effect to these measures by means of a Regulation based on Article 215 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
