    COUNCIL COMMON POSITION 2006/30/CFSP

    of 23 January 2006

    renewing and supplementing the restrictive measures imposed against Côte d'Ivoire

    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 15 thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    On 13 December 2004, the Council adopted Common Position 2004/852/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Côte d'Ivoire (1) in order to implement the measures imposed against Côte d'Ivoire by the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1572(2004). In accordance with that Resolution, these measures applied until 15 December 2005.

    (2)

    In the light of the recent developments in Côte d'Ivoire, the UN Security Council on 15 December 2005 adopted Resolution 1643(2005) renewing the restrictive measures imposed by UNSCR 1572(2004) for a further period of 12 months.

    (3)

    The measures imposed by Common Position 2004/852/CFSP should therefore be renewed for a further period of 12 months with effect from 16 December 2005, in order to give effect to UNSCR 1643(2005).

    (4)

    In addition to these measures, paragraph 6 of UNSCR 1643(2005) requires that measures be taken to prevent the import of all rough diamonds from Côte d'Ivoire. The Community is already applying these measures by virtue of Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 of 20 December 2002 implementing the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds (2),

    HAS ADOPTED THIS COMMON POSITION:

    Article 1

    The measures imposed by Common Position 2004/852/CFSP shall be applied for a further period of 12 months, unless the Council decides otherwise in accordance with any future relevant UN Security Council Resolution.

    Article 2

    In addition to the measures referred to in Article 1, the direct or indirect import of all rough diamonds from Côte d'Ivoire to the Community, whether or not such diamonds originated in Côte d'Ivoire, shall be prohibited in accordance with UNSCR 1643(2005).

    Article 3

    This Common Position shall take effect on the date of its adoption.

    It shall be applicable from 16 December 2005 until 15 December 2006.

    Article 4

    This Common Position shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    Done at Brussels, 23 January 2006.

    For the Council

    The President

    J. PRÖLL
