table>(1)Council Regulation (EC) No 889/2005 (2) imposed restrictive measures in respect of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in accordance with Council Common Position 2005/440/CFSP (3) and in line with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1596 (2005) of 18 April 2005 and subsequent relevant United Nations (UN) resolutions. Council Common Position 2008/369/CFSP (4) repealed Common Position 2005/440/CFSP. Council Decision 2010/788/CFSP repealed Common Position 2008/369/CFSP.
(2)By means of Resolution 2136 (2014) of 30 January 2014, the UNSC decided to provide for an additional derogation from the arms embargo.

(3)That measure falls 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 give effect to it, in particular with a view to ensuring its uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.

(4)Regulation (EC) No 889/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly,
