table>(1)Council Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 (2) gives effect to the measures provided for in Decision 2010/413/CFSP and provides for, inter alia, the freezing of all funds and economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by the persons, entities and bodies listed in Annexes VIII and IX to that Regulation.
(2)On 10 October 2013, the Council adopted Decision 2013/497/CFSP (3) which amends Decision 2010/413/CFSP and provides for adjusted listing criteria to include persons and entities that have evaded or violated restrictive measures.

(4)Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly,
