Joint Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

amending 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, and in particular Article 215 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2012/206/CFSP amending Council Decision 2011/782/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria[1],

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

Whereas:

(1)       On 18 January 2012 the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria[2] with a view to giving effect to most of the measures provided for in Council Decision 2011/782/CFSP.

(2)       In view of the continued brutal repression and violation of human rights by the Government of Syria, Council Decision 2012/206/CFSP, amending Decision 2011/782/CFSP, provides for additional measures, namely a prohibition or prior authorisation requirement on the sale, supply, transfer or export of goods and technology which might be used for internal repression, and a ban on exports of luxury goods to Syria.

(3)       Those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.

(4)       Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 should be amended to give effect to the new measures,

2.           A reference number in the column below entitled 'Related item from Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009' means that the characteristics of the item described in the 'Description' column lie outside the parameters set out in the description of the dual use entry referred to.

3.           Definitions of terms between 'single quotation marks' are given in a technical note to the relevant item.

4.           Definitions of terms between "double quotation marks" can be found in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009.

General Notes

1.           The object of the controls contained in this Annex should not be defeated by the export of any non-controlled goods (including plant) containing one or more controlled components when the controlled component or components is/are the principal element of the goods and can feasibly be removed or used for other purposes.

N.B.: In judging whether the controlled component or components is/are to be considered the principal element, it is necessary to weigh the factors of quantity, value and technological know-how involved and other special circumstances which might establish the controlled component or components as the principal element of the goods being procured.

2.           The goods specified in this Annex include both new and used goods.

General Technology Note (GTN)

(To be read in conjunction with Section B)

1.           The sale, supply, transfer or export of ”technology” which is “required” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of goods the sale, supply, transfer or export of which is controlled in Part A (Goods) below, is controlled in accordance with the provisions of Section B.

2.           The “technology” “required” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of goods under control remains under control even when it is applicable to non-controlled goods.

3.           Controls do not apply to that “technology” which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) and repair of those goods which are not controlled or the export of which has been authorised in accordance with This Regulation.

4.           Controls on “technology” transfer do not apply to information “in the public domain”, to “basic scientific research” or to the minimum necessary information for patent applications.
