COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2026/383

of 17 February 2026

amending Decision 2011/101/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Zimbabwe

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 from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:

(1)	On 15 February 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/101/CFSP (1), which concerns restrictive measures in view of the situation in Zimbabwe.

(2)

On the basis of a review of Decision 2011/101/CFSP, the Council considers that the provisions on the travel ban and the freezing of assets, as well as the related prohibition on making funds or economic resources available, should be deleted, and that the title of that Decision should be amended to reflect the fact that the framework only includes an arms embargo.

(3)	The Council considers that Decision 2011/101/CFSP should be renewed until 20 February 2027. The Council should continue to monitor the political and security situation in Zimbabwe and keep the measures under constant review in light of developments.

(4)	Decision 2011/101/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
