Article 1
For the purposes of this Common Position, ‘persons, groups and entities involved in terrorist acts’ shall mean:
For the purposes of this Common Position, ‘terrorist act’ shall mean one of the following intentional acts, which, given its nature or its context, may seriously damage a country or an international organisation, as defined as an offence under national law, where committed with the aim of:
seriously intimidating a population, or
unduly compelling a Government or an international organisation to perform or abstain from performing any act, or
seriously destabilising or destroying the fundamental political, constitutional, economic or social structures of a country or an international organisation:
attacks upon a person's life which may cause death;
attacks upon the physical integrity of a person;
kidnapping or hostage taking;
causing extensive destruction to a Government or public facility, a transport system, an infrastructure facility, including an information system, a fixed platform located on the continental shelf, a public place or private property, likely to endanger human life or result in major economic loss;
seizure of aircraft, ships or other means of public or goods transport;
manufacture, possession, acquisition, transport, supply or use of weapons, explosives or of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, as well as research into, and development of, biological and chemical weapons;
release of dangerous substances, or causing fires, explosions or floods the effect of which is to endanger human life;
interfering with or disrupting the supply of water, power or any other fundamental natural resource, the effect of which is to endanger human life;

directing a terrorist group;
participating in the activities of a terrorist group, including by supplying information or material resources, or by funding its activities in any way, with knowledge of the fact that such participation will contribute to the criminal activities of the group.
For the purposes of this paragraph, ‘terrorist group’ shall mean a structured group of more than two persons, established over a period of time and acting in concert to commit terrorist acts. ‘Structured group’ means a group that is not randomly formed for the immediate commission of a terrorist act and that does not need to have formally defined roles for its members, continuity of its membership or a developed structure.

Article 3
The European Community, acting within the limits of the powers conferred on it by the Treaty establishing the European Community, shall ensure that funds, financial assets or economic resources or financial or other related services will not be made available, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of persons, groups and entities listed in the Annex.
Article 4
Member States shall, through police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters within the framework of Title VI of the Treaty on European Union, afford each other the widest possible assistance in preventing and combating terrorist acts. To that end they shall, with respect to enquiries and proceedings conducted by their authorities in respect of any of the persons, groups and entities listed in the Annex, fully exploit, upon request, their existing powers in accordance with acts of the European Union and other international agreements, arrangements and conventions which are binding upon Member States.
