COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/237
of 21 February 2022
implementing Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 of 18 January 2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria and repealing Regulation (EU) No 442/2011 (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
On 1 August 2011, Mr Mohammed Makhlouf was added to the list of natural and legal persons, entities or bodies subject to restrictive measures pursuant to Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 755/2011 (2). |
|
(2) |
Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 36/2012, Mr Mohammed Makhlouf was maintained on the list of natural and legal persons, entities or bodies subject to restrictive measures. |
|
(3) |
On 12 September 2020, Mr Mohammed Makhlouf passed away. Since his heirs are all members of the Makhlouf family, there is an inherent risk that the inherited assets will be used to support the activities of the Syrian regime and will flow directly into the regime’s possession, potentially contributing to the regime’s violent repression of the civilian population. |
|
(4) |
In view of the gravity of the situation in Syria, and considering the above, five additional members of the Makhlouf family should be added to the list of natural and legal persons, entities or bodies subject to restrictive measures in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 36/2012. |
|
(5) |
Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 21 February 2022.
For the Council
The President
J. BORRELL FONTELLES
(2) Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 755/2011 of 1 August 2011 implementing Regulation (EU) No 442/2011 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria (OJ L 199, 2.8.2011, p. 33).
