COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 330/2011
of 6 April 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Côte d'Ivoire
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 2011/221/CFSP of 6 April 2011 amending Decision 2010/656/CFSP renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d'Ivoire (1),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Decision 2011/221/CFSP provides, inter alia, for further restrictive measures in relation to Côte d'Ivoire, in addition to those set out in Council Decision 2010/656/CFSP (2), including a prohibition on the trade of bonds and the provision of loans to the illegitimate government of Mr GBAGBO, as well as a provision to ensure that those restrictive measures do not affect humanitarian operations in Côte d'Ivoire. |
(2) |
Those restrictive measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, regulatory action at Union level is necessary in order to implement them. |
(3) |
On 30 March 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1975 (‘UNSCR 1975 (2011)’) imposing targeted sanctions against additional individuals who meet the criteria set out in Resolution 1572 (2004) and subsequent Resolutions, including those individuals who obstruct peace and reconciliation in Côte d'Ivoire, obstruct the work of the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) and other international actors in Côte d'Ivoire and commit serious violations of human rights and of international humanitarian law. |
(4) |
Moreover, the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures set out in Annexes I and IA to Council Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 of 12 April 2005 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Côte d'Ivoire (3) should be amended. |
(5) |
In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication, |
