That Common Position was extended by Common Position 2009/717/CFSP ( 2 ) until 10 October 2010.

(2)

The restrictive measures should be extended for a further year until 10 October 2011.

4.  Paragraph 2 shall not apply to the addition to frozen accounts of:

(a) interest or other earnings on those accounts; or

(b) payments due under contracts, agreements or obligations that were concluded or arose before the date on which those accounts became subject to restrictive measures,

4.  provided that any such interest, other earnings and payments continue to be subject to paragraph 1.
