COUNCIL DECISION 2011/412/CFSP

of 12 July 2011

amending Decision 2010/656/CFSP renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 October 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/656/CFSP renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire (1).

(2)

On 28 April 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted a Resolution, UNSCR 1980 (2011), which renewed the measures imposed against Côte d’Ivoire by UNSCR 1572 (2004), paragraph 5 of UNSCR 1946 (2010) and paragraph 12 of UNSCR 1975 (2011) until 30 April 2012, and which amended the restrictive measures on arms.

(3)

In addition to the exemptions to the arms embargo provided for in UNSCR 1980 (2011), it is appropriate to amend the restrictive measures in order to exempt other equipment included autonomously by the Union.

(4)

Decision 2010/656/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
