COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 174/2005
of 31 January 2005
imposing restrictions on the supply of assistance related to military activities to Côte d’Ivoire
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/852/CFSP of 13 December 2004 concerning restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire ( 1 ),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
In its Resolution 1572 (2004) of 15 November 2004, the UN Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, and deploring the resumption of hostilities in Côte d’Ivoire and the repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement of 3 May 2003, decided to impose certain restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire. |
(2) |
Common Position 2004/852/CFSP provides for the implementation of the measures set out in UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1572 (2004), including a ban on technical and financial assistance related to military activities and on equipment, which might be used for internal repression. |
(3) |
This measure falls within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in order to avoid any distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement it as far as 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. |
(4) |
In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication, |
