Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 467/2001 prohibiting the export of certain goods and services to Afghanistan, strengthening the flight ban and extending the freeze of funds and other financial resources in respect of the Taliban of Afghanistan

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

(1) Further to Resolutions 1267(1999) and 1333(2000) of the Security Council of the United Nations, the Council decided to impose a number of sanctions in relation to Afghanistan by means of Council Regulation (EC) No 467/2001, including in particular a ban on flights to Afghanistan, a ban on certain exports to that country and a freezing of funds.

(2) By means of Resolution 1390(2002) of 16 January 2002 the Security Council determined that the scope of both the financial measures and the prohibition to render services related to military activities, should be adjusted and that the remainder of these sanctions should be repealed. The adjusted financial measures and prohibition to render certain services target Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban and a list of the persons, groups and entities concerned will be decided on by a UN Sanctions Committee. Taking into account that these measures are imposed in view of their role in international terrorism, without there being a link between the persons and groups concerned, and the new Government of Afghanistan, it is considered appropriate to adopt a new Regulation imposing such measures and to repeal the sanctions in relation to Afghanistan.

(3) In view of the explicit mention of terrorism in the texts, this new Regulation has been aligned as much as possible with Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001, which provides the framework for specific restrictive measures with a view to combating terrorism, directed against persons, groups and entities that have not been the subject of a specific determination by the Security Council or a UN Sanctions Committee.

Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 467/2001 prohibiting the export of certain goods and services to Afghanistan, strengthening the flight ban and extending the freeze of funds and other financial resources in respect of the Taliban of Afghanistan

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60, 301 and 308 thereof,

Having regard to Common Position 2002/.../CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Usama bin Laden, members of the Al-Qaida organisation and the Taliban and other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with them and repealing Common Positions 96/746/CFSP, 1999/727/CFSP, 2001/154/CFSP and 2001/771/CFSP [1],

[1] OJ L ...

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission [2],

[2] OJ C , , p. .

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament [3],

[3] OJ C , , p. .

Whereas:

(1) On 16 January 2002, the Security Council of the United Nations adopted Resolution 1390(2002) determining that the Taliban have failed to respond to its demands made in a number of previous resolutions and condemning the Taliban for allowing Afghanistan to be used as a base for terrorist training and activities. The Security Council also condemned the Al-Qaida network and other associated terrorist groups, for their terrorist acts and destruction of property.

(2) In this regard, the Security Council recalled the obligation to implement in full its Resolution 1373(2001) with regard to any member of the Taliban and the Al-Qaida organisation, but also with regard to those who are associated with them and have participated in the financing, planning, facilitation, preparation or perpetration of terrorist acts. By means of that Resolution the Security Council decided that a freezing of funds and other financial assets or economic resources should be implemented as against persons who commit, or attempt to commit, terrorist acts or who participate in or facilitate the commission of such acts, and that measures should be taken to prohibit funds and other financial assets or economic resources from being made available for the benefit of such persons, and to prohibit financial or other related services from being rendered for the benefit of such persons.

(3) The Security Council decided, inter alia, that the flight ban and export restrictions imposed on Afghanistan further to its Resolutions 1267(1999) and 1333(2000) should be repealed and that the scope of the freezing of funds and the prohibition on funds being made available, which were imposed further to these Resolutions, should be adjusted. It also decided that a prohibition on providing, to the Taliban and the Al-Qaida organisation, certain services related to military activities should be applied.

(4) These measures fall under the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement the relevant decisions of the Security Council as far as the territory of the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.

(5) In order to create maximum legal certainty within the Community, the names and other relevant data with regard to persons, entities and bodies whose funds should be frozen further to a designation by the UN authorities, should be made publicly known and a procedure should be established within the Community to amend these lists.

(6) The competent authorities of the Member States should, where necessary, be empowered to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation.

(7) UN Security Council Resolution 1267 (1999) provides that the relevant UN Sanctions Committee may grant exemptions to the freezing of funds on grounds of humanitarian need. Therefore, provision needs to be made to render such exemptions applicable throughout the Community.

(8) For reasons of expediency, the Commission should be empowered to amend the Annexes to this Regulation on the basis of pertinent notification or information by the UN Security Council, the relevant UN Sanctions Committee and the Member States, as appropriate.

(9) The Commission and the Member States should inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and of other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, and co-operate with the relevant UN Sanctions Committee, in particular by supplying information to it.

(10) Member States should lay down rules on sanctions applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation and ensure that the they are implemented. Those sanctions must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

(11) Taking into account that the freezing of funds is to be adjusted, it is necessary to ensure that sanctions for breaches of this Regulation can be imposed as of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

(12) The measures referred to above were imposed by means of Council Regulation (EC) No 467/2001 [4]. In view of the need to adjust the freezing of funds and to repeal the remaining measures laid down therein, it is considered appropriate to repeal that Regulation and to adopt a new Regulation on the freezing of funds,
