Joint Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

amending Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 of 18 May 2006 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

(1)Council Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 provides for the freezing of funds and economic resources of, and prohibits making funds or economic resources available to, persons, entities or bodies responsible for serious violations of human rights or the repression of civil society and democratic opposition, or whose activities otherwise seriously undermine democracy or the rule of law in Belarus or who benefit from or support the Lukashenka regime or persons, entities or bodies that are organising or contributing to activities by the Lukashenka regime that facilitate the illegal crossing of the external borders of the Union or the transfer of prohibited goods and the illegal transfer of restricted goods, including hazardous goods, into the territory of a Member State. It also prohibits the provision of technical assistance related to the goods and technology listed in the Common Military List of the European Union or related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance and use of such goods. It imposes a ban on the export of equipment, which might be used for internal repression to any person, entity or body in Belarus or for use in Belarus, and prohibits the provision of related technical assistance, brokering services, financing or financial assistance. It further prohibits Belarusian air carriers from landing in, taking off from or overflying the territory of the Union. It also establishes other sectorial restrictions in relation to trade of petroleum and gaseous hydrocarbon products, goods used for the production or manufacturing of tobacco products, potassium chloride (“potash”) products, investment services and securities. It also includes restriction on the provision of loans, credit, insurance or re-insurance to the Republic of Belarus, its Government, its public bodies, corporations or agencies.

(2)Council Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 gives effect to the measures provided for in Decision 2012/642/CFSP.

(3)Council Decision (CFSP) xxxx/xxxx 1 introduces further targeted economic sanctions aimed at implementing the conclusions of the European Council of 24 February 2022 following the involvement of Belarus in the unacceptable and illegal Russian military aggression against Ukraine, which under international law qualifies as an act of aggression.

(4)In particular, the Decision introduces further restrictions related to the trade of goods used for the production or manufacturing of tobacco products, mineral products, potassium chloride (“potash”) products, wood products, cement products, iron and steel products and rubber products. It also prohibits the export to Belarus or for use in Belarus of dual-use goods and technology, exports of goods and technology which might contribute to Belarus’ military, technological, defence and security development, and exports of machinery. The Decision also amends the provisions in Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 concerning the execution of contracts concluded before 25 June 2021 and the provision of financing, financial and technical assistance in relation to prohibited goods.

(5)These amendments fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring its uniform application in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary.

(6)The High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission should therefore propose to amend Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 accordingly.

Having regard to Council Decision 2012/642/CFSP of 15 October 2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus 2 ,

Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)Council Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 3 provides for, among others, the freezing of funds and economic resources of, and prohibits making funds or economic resources available to, persons, entities or bodies responsible for serious violations of human rights or the repression of civil society and democratic opposition, or whose activities otherwise seriously undermine democracy or the rule of law in Belarus or who benefit from or support the Lukashenka regime, or persons, entities or bodies that are organising or contributing to activities by the Lukashenka regime that facilitate the illegal crossing of the external borders of the Union or the transfer of prohibited goods and the illegal transfer of restricted goods, including hazardous goods, into the territory of a Member State.

(2)Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 gives effect to the measures provided for in Decision 2012/642/CFSP.

(3)On xxx, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) xxxx/xxxx 4 , which expands the scope of the sanctions to implement the conclusions of the European Council of 24 February 2022 following the involvement of Belarus in the unacceptable and illegal Russian military aggression against Ukraine, which under international law qualifies as an act of aggression.

(4)Council Decision (CFSP) 2022/xxx introduces further restrictions related to the trade of goods used for the production or manufacturing of tobacco products, mineral products, potassium chloride (“potash”) products, wood products, cement products, iron and steel products and rubber products. It also prohibits the export to Belarus or for use in Belarus of dual-use goods and technology, exports of goods and technology which might contribute to Belarus’ military, technological, defence and security development, and exports of machinery.

1)“Asynchronous transfer mode” (“ATM”) is a transfer mode in which the information is organised into cells; it is asynchronous in the sense that the recurrence of cells depends on the required or instantaneous bit rate.

2)“Bandwidth of one voice channel” is data communication equipment designed to operate in one voice channel of 3 100 Hz, as defined in CCITT Recommendation G.151.

3)“Communications channel controller” is the physical interface that controls the flow of synchronous or asynchronous digital information. It is an assembly that can be integrated into computer or telecommunications equipment to provide communications access.

5)“Fast select” is a facility applicable to virtual calls that allows data terminal equipment to expand the possibility to transmit data in call set‑up and clearing “packets” beyond the basic capabilities of a virtual call.

6)“Gateway” is the function, realised by any combination of equipment and “software”, to carry out the conversion of conventions for representing, processing or communicating information used on one system into the corresponding, but different conventions used in another system.

7)“Integrated Services Digital Network” (ISDN) is a unified end‑to‑end digital network, in which data originating from all types of communication (e.g., voice, text, data, still and moving pictures) are transmitted from one port (terminal) in the exchange (switch) over one access line to and from the subscriber.

8)“Packet” is a group of binary digits including data and call control signals that is switched as a composite whole. The data, call control signals, and possible error control information are arranged in a specified format.

9)“Common channel signalling” means the transmission of control information (signalling) via a separate channel than that used for the messages. The signalling channel usually controls multiple message channels.
