THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:

On 9 December 2014, the United Nations Security Council adopted UNSCR 2188 (2014) with regard to Liberia, extending the measures on travel and the arms embargo for a period of nine months. |

On 2 September 2015 the United Nations Security Council adopted UNSCR 2237 (2015) with regard to Liberia, terminating the travel and financial measures set out in paragraph 4 of UNSCR 1521 (2003) and paragraph 1 of UNSCR 1532 (2004) and renewing the arms embargo with regard to all non-governmental entities and individuals operating in the territory of Liberia until 2 June 2016. |

Common Position 2008/109/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly and Common Position 2004/487/CFSP should be repealed. |
