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 2010/127/CFSP of 1 March 2010 concerning restrictive measures against Eritrea (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)

On 26 July 2010, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 667/2010 (2), which imposes a general ban on the provision of technical advice, assistance, training, financing and financial assistance related to military activities to any person, entity or body in Eritrea.

 

(2)

On 25 July 2012, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2060 (2012) which provides, at paragraphs 11 and 12, for certain derogations from the arms embargo imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1907 (2009).

 

(3)

In order to give effect to Resolution 2060 (2012), on 15 October 2012 the Council adopted Decision 2012/632/CFSP (3), which amends Decision 2010/127/CFSP by providing for certain derogations from the prohibition of assistance.

 

(4)

This measure falls within the scope of the Treaty and regulatory action at Union level is therefore necessary in order to implement it, in particular with a view to ensuring its uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.

 

(5)

Regulation (EU) No 667/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly,
