COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2015/1333

of 31 July 2015

concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya, and repealing Decision 2011/137/CFSP

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 26 February 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution (UNSCR) 1970 (2011) in view of its grave concern over the situation in Libya and introducing restrictive measures against Libya. The Security Council has since adopted a number of other Resolutions on Libya that have extended or amended the UN's restrictive measures against Libya, including in particular UNSCR 2174 (2014) and UNSCR 2213 (2015) in connection with the Security Council's commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity of Libya.

(2)	On 28 February 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/137/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya (1), taking into account UNSCR 1970 (2011) and imposing additional restrictive measures in view of the seriousness of the situation in Libya.

(3)

On 26 May 2015, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2015/818 (2) amending Decision 2011/137/CFSP taking into consideration the threat that continues to be posed to the peace, stability or security of Libya and the successful completion of its political transition, inter alia through the exacerbation of current divisions by persons and entities identified as having been involved in the repressive policies of the former regime of Muammar Qadhafi in Libya, or otherwise formerly associated with that regime, and given that most of those persons or entities have not been held accountable for their actions. That Decision also took into consideration the threat posed by persons and entities owning or controlling Libyan State funds misappropriated during the former regime of Muammar Qadhafi in Libya which could be used to threaten the peace, stability or security of Libya, or to obstruct or undermine the successful completion of its political transition.

(4)	In accordance with Decision 2011/137/CFSP, the Council has carried out a complete review of the lists of persons and entities set out in Annexes II and IV to that Decision.

(5)	The reasons for listing in relation to a number of persons and entities on the list of persons and entities set out in Annexes II and IV to Decision 2011/137/CFSP should be amended.

(6)	For the sake of clarity, the restrictive measures imposed by Decision 2011/137/CFSP as amended and implemented by a number of subsequent Decisions, should be consolidated into a new legal instrument.

(7)	Decision 2011/137/CFSP should therefore be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2015/1336

of 31 July 2015

amending Decision 2010/413/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Iran

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

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

Whereas:

(1)	On 26 July 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/413/CFSP (1) concerning restrictive measures against Iran.

(2)

On 24 November 2013, China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States, supported by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (‘High Representative’), reached an agreement with Iran on a Joint Plan of Action which sets out an approach towards reaching a long-term comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. It was agreed that the process leading to this comprehensive solution would include, as a first step, initial mutually-agreed measures to be taken by both sides for a duration of six months and renewable by mutual consent.

(3)	On 2 April 2015, China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States, supported by the High Representative, agreed the key parameters of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran.

(4)

On 14 July 2015, China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States, supported by the High Representative, reached an agreement with Iran on a long-term comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. The successful implementation of the JCPOA will ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear programme, and provide for the comprehensive lifting of all nuclear-related sanctions.

(5)	On 20 July 2015, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution (UNSCR) 2231 (2015) endorsing the JCPOA, urging its full implementation on the timetable established in the JCPOA and providing for actions to take place in accordance with the JCPOA.

(6)

UNSCR 2231 (2015) provides that the measures imposed in resolutions 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008), 1835 (2008) and 1929 (2010) shall not apply, under certain conditions, to activities by JCPOA participant States or UN Member States acting in coordination with them directly related to the modification of two cascades at the Fordow facility for stable isotope production, the export of Iran's enriched uranium in excess of 300 kilograms in return for natural uranium, or the modernisation of the Arak reactor based on the agreed conceptual design and, subsequently, on the agreed final design of such reactor.

(7)

UNSCR 2231 (2015) further provides that the measures imposed in UNSCRs 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008), 1835 (2008) and 1929 (2010) shall not apply to the extent necessary to carry out, under certain conditions, transfers and activities that are related to implementation of certain nuclear-related commitments specified in the JCPOA, required for preparation for the implementation of the JCPOA, or determined by the UN Security Council Committee established pursuant to UNSCR 1737 (2006) to be consistent with the objectives of UNSCR 2231 (2015).

(8)	Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures provided for in this Decision.

(9)	Decision 2010/413/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

(notified under document C(2015) 5252)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) and Article 29(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor the substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I thereto. That Directive requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit a residue monitoring plan providing required guarantees. That plan should at least include the groups of residues and substances listed in that Annex I.

(2)	Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (2) approves the plans provided for in Article 29 of Directive 96/23/EC (‘the plans’) submitted by certain third countries listed in the Annex thereto for the animals and animal products indicated in that list.

(3)

In the light of the recent plans submitted by certain third countries and additional information obtained by the Commission, it is necessary to update the list of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import certain animals and animal products, as provided for in Directive 96/23/EC and currently listed in the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU (‘the list’).

(4)	Andorra has submitted a plan for honey to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. An entry for Andorra for honey should therefore be included in the list.

(5)

Armenia, Kenya and the Republic of the Union of Myanmar have submitted a plan for aquaculture to the Commission. Those plans provide sufficient guarantees and should be approved. Entries for Armenia, Kenya and the Republic of the Union of Myanmar for aquaculture should therefore be included in the list.

(6)	Morocco has submitted a plan for poultry to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. An entry for Morocco for poultry should therefore be included in the list.

(7)

The Commission requested that Peru provide information on the implementation of its plan for poultry and poultry products. In the absence of a reply from Peru there are not sufficient guarantees for approval. The entry for that third country concerning poultry and poultry products should be deleted from the list. Peru has been informed accordingly.

(8)

For the sake of market transparency and in accordance with public international law, it should be clarified that the territorial coverage of the EU on the approval of plans is limited to the territory of the State of Israel excluding the territories under Israeli administration since June 1967, namely the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank. The list is to be amended accordingly.

(9)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 30 July 2015.
