COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1352/2014

of 18 December 2014

concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Yemen

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 2014/932/CFSP (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)

In accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2140 (2014) of 26 February 2014, Decision 2014/932/CFSP provides for restrictions on the entry or transit and the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain persons to be designated by the Committee established pursuant to paragraph 19 of UNSCR 2140 (2014).

 

(2)

On 7 November 2014, that Committee designated three individuals to be subject to restrictions on entry or transit and to the freezing of funds and economic resources as set out in UNSCR 2140 (2014).

 

(3)

Certain measures provided for in Decision 2014/932/CFSP 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 the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them.

 

(4)

This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and notably the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial and the right to the protection of personal data. This Regulation is to be applied in accordance with those rights.

 

(5)

The power to amend the list in Annex I to this Regulation should be exercised by the Council, in view of the specific threat to international peace and security in the region posed by the situation in Yemen and in order to ensure consistency with the process for amending and reviewing the Annex to Decision 2014/932/CFSP.

 

(6)

The procedure for amending the list in Annex I to this Regulation should include the provision of reasons for their listing as transmitted by the Committee established pursuant to paragraph 19 of UNSCR 2140 (2014) to designated natural or legal persons, entities or bodies, so as to give them an opportunity to present observations. Where observations are submitted or substantial new evidence is presented, the Council should review its decision in the light of those observations and inform the person, entity or body concerned accordingly.

 

(7)

For the implementation of this Regulation, and in order to create maximum legal certainty within the Union, the names and other relevant data concerning natural and legal persons, entities and bodies whose funds and economic resources must be frozen in accordance with this Regulation, should be made public. Any processing of personal data should comply with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

 

(8)
