Notice for the attention of the persons, groups and entities on the list provided for in Article 2(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism (see Annex to Council Decision 2007/445/EC of 28 June 2007)

(2007/C 144/01)

The following information is brought to the attention of the persons, groups and entities listed in Council Decision 2007/445/EC of 28 June 2007 (1).

The Council of the European Union has determined that the reasons for including the persons, groups and entities that appear on the above-mentioned list of persons, groups and entities subject to the restrictive measures provided for under Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001, on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism (2), are still valid. Consequently, the Council has decided to maintain those persons, groups and entities on the list.

Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 provides for a freezing of all funds, other financial assets and economic resources belonging to the persons, groups and entities concerned and that no funds, other financial assets and economic resources may be made available to them, whether directly or indirectly.

The attention of the persons, groups and entities concerned is drawn to the possibility of making an application to the competent authorities of the relevant Member State(s) as listed in the Annex to the Regulation in order to obtain an authorisation to use frozen funds for essential needs or specific payments in accordance with Article 5(2) of that Regulation. An updated list of competent authorities is available on the web at the following address:

http://ec.europa.eu/comm/external_relations/cfsp/sanctions/measures.htm

The persons, groups and entities concerned may submit a request to obtain the Council's statement of reasons for maintaining them on the above-mentioned list (unless the statement of reasons has already been communicated to them), to the following address: Council of the European Union (Attn: CP 931 designations) rue de la Loi 175 B-1048 Brussels.

The persons, groups and entities concerned may submit at any time a request to the Council, together with any supporting documentation, that the decision to include and maintain them on the list should be reconsidered, to the address provided above. Such requests will be considered when they are received. In this respect, the attention of the persons, groups and entities concerned is drawn to the regular review by the Council of the list according to Article 1(6) of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP. In order for requests to be considered at the next review, they should be submitted within two months from the date of publication of this notice.

The attention of the persons, groups and entities concerned is also drawn to the possibility of challenging the Council's decision before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities, in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 230(4) and (5) of the Treaty establishing the European Community.
