COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1412/2006
of 25 September 2006
concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Lebanon
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Common Position 2006/625/CFSP concerning a prohibition on the sale or supply of arms and related matériel and on the provision of related services to entities or individuals in Lebanon in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006) (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Common Position 2006/625/CFSP implements the restrictive measures imposed by United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006) and provides, inter alia, for a prohibition on the provision of technical assistance and of financing and financial assistance related to military activities and to the provision, manufacture, maintenance and use of arms and related matériel of all types to entities or individuals in Lebanon. |
|
(2) |
These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, Community legislation is necessary to implement them as far as the Community is concerned. |
|
(3) |
On a case-by-case basis, the competent authorities should be allowed to grant authorisations for the provision of assistance where such provision was authorised by the Government of Lebanon or by the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), and taking into account UN Security Council Resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006) and any other relevant facts and circumstances. |
|
(4) |
It is appropriate to allow the competent authorities to grant authorisations for the provision of assistance to the armed forces that are part of UNIFIL and to the armed forces of the Lebanese Republic. |
|
(5) |
For reasons of expediency, the Commission should be empowered to amend the Annex to this Regulation. |
|
(6) |
Member States should determine the penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation. The penalties provided for should be proportionate, effective and dissuasive. |
|
(7) |
This Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication so as to ensure that the measures provided for in it are effective, |
