COUNCIL DECISION 2012/169/CFSP

of 23 March 2012

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

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

Whereas:

(1)

On 26 July 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/413/CFSP (1).

(2)

On 12 April 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/235/CFSP concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Iran (2).

(3)

The measures set out in Decision 2010/413/CFSP reflect the Council’s concerns over the nature of Iran’s nuclear programme, whereas the measures set out in Decision 2011/235/CFSP reflect the Council’s concerns about the deterioration of the human rights situation in Iran.

(4)

In consideration of its objectives, the prohibition on the supply, sale or transfer of equipment which might be used for internal repression will be included in Decision 2011/235/CFSP. That Decision will therefore be amended accordingly.

(5)

At the same time, Decision 2010/413/CFSP should no longer include the prohibition on the supply, sale or transfer of equipment which might be used for internal repression and should be amended accordingly.

(6)

Furthermore, it should be specified that the restrictions on admission and the freezing of funds and economic resources apply to persons acting on behalf of IRGC or IRISL,
