L 103/1

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 423/2007

of 19 April 2007

concerning restrictive measures against Iran

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 Council Common Position 2007/140/CFSP of 27 February 2007 concerning restrictive measures against Iran (1),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

On 23 December 2006, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1737 (2006) (UNSCR 1737 (2006)) deciding that Iran should without further delay suspend all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities, as well as work on all heavy water-related projects, and take certain steps required by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors, which the United Nations Security Council deems essential to build confidence in the exclusively peaceful purpose of Iran's nuclear programme. In order to persuade Iran to comply with this mandatory decision, the United Nations Security Council decided that all Member States of the United Nations should apply a number of restrictive measures.

(2)

In line with UNSCR 1737 (2006), Common Position 2007/140/CFSP provides for certain restrictive measures against Iran. These measures include restrictions on exports and imports of goods and technology which could contribute to Iran's enrichment-related, reprocessing, or heavy water-related activities, or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems, a ban on the provision of related services, a ban on investment related to such goods and technology, a ban on procurement of relevant goods and technology from Iran, as well as the freezing of funds and economic resources of persons, entities and bodies engaged in, directly associated with or providing support for such activities or development.

(3)

These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty establishing the European Community and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, Community legislation is necessary in order to implement them as far as the Community is concerned.

(4)

This Regulation derogates from existing Community legislation that provides for general rules on exports to, and imports from, third countries, and in particular from Council Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000 of 22 June 2000 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports of dual-use items and technology (2), in so far as this Regulation covers the same goods and technology.

(5)

For reasons of expediency, the Commission should be empowered to publish the list of banned goods and technology and any amendments to it that will be adopted by the Sanctions Committee or the United Nations Security Council, and to amend the lists of persons, entities and bodies whose funds and economic resources should be frozen on the basis of decisions reached by the United Nations Security Council or by the Sanctions Committee.

(6)

As regards the procedure for establishing and amending the list referred to in Article 7(2) of this Regulation, the Council should exercise the corresponding implementing powers itself in view of the objectives of UNSCR 1737 (2006), notably to constrain Iran's development of sensitive technologies in support of its nuclear and missile programmes, and the proliferation-sensitive nature of the activities undertaken by the persons and entities supporting these programmes.

(7)	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.

(8)	In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, the latter should enter into force on the day of its publication,

GOODS NOMENCLATURE

The type of goods shall be reported according to the classification NST-2000 (1) as shown in Table F.1. The two-digit code of the column “NST-2000 groups” shall be used.

However, in 2007 only, Member States shall be allowed to use the classification NST/R (2) as shown in Table F.2 for reporting the type of goods. The two-digit code of the column “Groups of goods” shall be used.

Member States can also decide to report data using both classifications in 2007. From 2008 onwards, only classification NST-2000 shall be valid.

Table F.1 Classification NST-2000

NST-2000 groups	Description of goods
01	Products of agriculture, hunting, and forestry; fish and other fishing products
02	Coal and lignite; peat; crude petroleum and natural gas; uranium and thorium
03	Metal ores and other mining and quarrying products
04	Food products, beverages and tobacco
05	Textiles and textile products; leather and leather products
06	Wood and products of wood and cork (except furniture); articles of straw and plaiting materials; pulp, paper and paper products; printed matter and recorded media
07	Coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel
08	Chemicals, chemical products, and man-made fibres; rubber and plastic products
09	Other non-metallic mineral products

12	Transport equipment
13	Furniture; other manufactured goods n.e.c.
14	Secondary raw materials; municipal wastes and other wastes not specified elsewhere in CPA
15	Mail, parcels Note: this heading is normally used for goods transported by postal administrations and specialized courier services in NACE Rev. 2 divisions 53.10 and 53.20
16	Equipment and material utilised in the transport of goods Note: this heading covers items such as empty containers, palettes, boxes, crates and roll cages. It also covers vehicles used to contain goods, where the vehicle is itself carried on another vehicle. The existence of a code for this type of material does not prejudge the question of whether such materials are to be counted as “goods”, this will depend on the rules for data collection in each mode of transport.
17	Goods moved in the course of household and office removals; baggage transported separately from passengers; motor vehicles being moved for repair; other non-market goods n.e.c.
18	Grouped goods: a mixture of types of goods which are transported together Note: this heading is used whenever it is not considered appropriate to assign the goods to separately to groups 01-16.
19	Unidentifiable goods: goods which for any reason cannot be identified and therefore cannot be assigned to groups 01-16. Note: this heading is intended to cover goods where the reporting unit does not have information on the type of goods being transported.
20	Other goods n.e.c. Note: this heading covers any items which cannot be assigned to any of the groups 01-19. Since the groups 01-19 are intended to cover all foreseeable categories of transported goods, the use of group 20 should be considered unusual and may indicate a need for further checking of the data reported under this heading.

ANNEX II

ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS, EXPLANATIONS AND DATA REPORTING GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EC) No 1365/2006

SECTION I. INLAND WATERWAYS TRANSPORT

1. Navigable inland waterways

This term covers navigable rivers, lakes, canals and estuaries. An inland waterway forming a common border between two countries has to be reported by both.

2. Inland waterways transport

For the purpose of this Regulation the movements of goods and/or passengers using seagoing vessels undertaken wholly in navigable inland waterways will be considered as inland waterways transport and will be subject to the same data provision obligations no matter if seagoing vessels are not specifically mentioned in other definitions.

Movements of goods shipped to offshore installations are excluded. Bunkers and stores supplied to vessels in port are excluded, but bunker oil shipped to vessels offshore is included.

3. National inland waterways transport

National inland waterways transport may involve transit through a second country, although for this country this transport has to be reported as transit. Cabotage transport defined as national inland waterways transport performed by a vessel registered in another country is included.

4. International inland waterways transport

International inland waterways transport may involve transit through one or more third countries. For the latter countries this transport has to be reported as transit.

5. Transit inland waterways transport

Transit inland waterways transport shall be considered as such only provided that in the total journey within the national territory there is no transshipment.

6. Country/region of loading

This is the country or region of the port (NUTS2 level (1)) where the transported goods are loaded on a vessel.

7. Country/region of unloading

This is the country or region of the port (NUTS2 level) where the transported goods are unloaded from a vessel.

8. Type of packaging of goods

Goods on a vessel can be transported using two types of packaging:

—	inside containers as defined in section III.1,

—	not in containers.

SECTION II. TYPES OF VESSELS

1. Self-propelled barge

Any powered inland waterways freight vessel, other than self-propelled tanker barges.

2. Barge not self-propelled

Any unpowered inland waterways freight vessel, other than not self-propelled tanker barges. This category includes towed, pushed and pushed-towed barges.

3. Self-propelled tanker barge

A self-propelled barge intended for the transport of liquids or gases in fixed tanks.

4. Tanker barge not self-propelled

A barge not self-propelled intended for the transport of liquids or gases in fixed tanks.

5. Other goods carrying vessel

Any other known or unknown kind of inland waterways freight vessel intended for carrying goods not defined in the previous categories.

6. Seagoing vessel

A vessel other than those which navigate predominantly in navigable inland waterways or in waters within, or closely adjacent to, sheltered waters or areas where port regulations apply.

SECTION III. CONTAINERS

1. Container

A freight container means an article of transport equipment:

1.	of a permanent nature and accordingly strong enough to be suitable for repeated use;

2.	specially designed to facilitate the carriage of goods by one or more modes of transport, without intermediate reloading;

3.	fitted with devices permitting its ready handling, particularly its transfer from one mode of transport to another;

4.	so designed as to be easy to fill and empty;

5.	having a length of 20 feet or more.

2. Size of containers

For the purpose of this Regulation the size of containers will be reported according to four categories:

1.	20 Foot ISO containers (length of 20 feet and width of 8 feet);

2.	40 Foot ISO containers (length of 40 feet and width of 8 feet);

3.	ISO containers over 20 feet and under 40 feet in length;

4.	ISO containers over 40 feet long.

(Containers smaller than 20 feet or of unknown size must be reported under Category 1).

3. Loading status of containers

Containers may have two loading status regardless of their size:

—	loaded, when any kind of good is transported inside the container,

—	empty, when the container does not have any good inside.

SECTION IV. INLAND WATERWAYS TRAFFIC

1. Number of movements of loaded vessels

One movement of a loaded vessel is counted as the movement of a vessel from the port of loading of any kind of goods to the following port of loading or unloading.

2. Number of movements of empty vessels

One movement of an empty vessel is counted as the movement of a vessel from one port to another for which the gross-gross weight of goods is nil. The movement of a vessel carrying empty containers is not considered as an empty vessel.

SECTION V. UNITS

1. Tonne

Unit for measuring the weight of goods transport equivalent to 1 000 kilograms.

The weight to be taken into consideration is the gross-gross weight of goods. The weight taken into consideration is equivalent to the total weight of the goods and packaging and the tare weight of equipment such as containers, swap bodies and pallets. When this tare-weight is excluded, the weight is gross weight.

2. Tonne-km

Unit for measuring the goods transport equivalent to one tonne of goods transported over a distance of one kilometre.

For the purpose of reporting the tonne-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.

3. TEU

Unit for measuring the container size equivalent to twenty feet unit. For the purpose of this Regulation the following equivalences apply:

1.	20 Foot ISO containers (length of 20 feet and width of 8 feet)	=	1 TEU;
2.	40 Foot ISO container (length of 40 feet and width of 8 feet)	=	2 TEU;
3.	ISO containers over 20 feet and under 40 feet in length	=	1,5 TEU;
4.	ISO containers over 40 feet long	=	2,25 TEU.

4. TEU-km

Unit for measuring the goods transport by containers equivalent to one TEU transported over a distance of one kilometre.

For the purpose of reporting the TEU-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.

5. Vessel-km

Unit for measuring the vessel traffic equivalent to the movement of a vessel over a distance of one kilometre. For the purpose of reporting the vessel-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.

(1) Nomenclature of territorial units as per Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) (OJ L 154, 21.6.2003, p. 1). Any future update of this classification adopted by implementing Commission regulations will be applicable for the purpose of this Regulation.
