(Regulation 3)

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 208/2014

of 5 March 2014

concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities

and bodies in view of the situation in Ukraine

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

in particular Article 215 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2014/119/CFSP of 5 March 2014

concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities and

bodies in view of the situation in Ukraine,

Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union

for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,

Whereas

(1) On 20 February 2014, the Council condemned in the strongest terms all

use of violence in Ukraine. It called for an immediate end to the violence, and full

respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in Ukraine. It called upon the

Ukrainian Government to exercise maximum restraint and opposition leaders to

distance themselves from those who resort to radical action, including violence.

(2) On 3 March 2014, the Council agreed to focus restrictive measures on

the freezing and recovery of assets of persons identified as responsible for the

misappropriation of Ukrainian State funds and persons responsible for human

rights violations in Ukraine.

(3) On 5 March 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/119/CFSP.

(4) Decision 2014/119/CFSP provides for the freezing of funds and

economic resources of certain persons identified as responsible for the

misappropriation of Ukrainian State funds and persons responsible for human

rights violations in Ukraine, and natural or legal persons, entities or bodies

associated with them, with a view to consolidating and supporting the rule of law

and respect for human rights in Ukraine. Those persons, entities and bodies are

listed in the Annex to that Decision.

(5) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of

the European Union and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform

application by economic operators in all Member States, regulatory action at the

level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them.

(6) This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the

principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the

European Union and notably the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial and

the right to the protection of personal data. This Regulation should be applied in

accordance with those rights and principles.

(7) The power to amend the list in Annex I to this Regulation should be

exercised by the Council, in view of the serious political situation in Ukraine, and

to ensure consistency with the process for amending and reviewing the Annex to

Decision 2014/119/CFSP.

(8) The procedure for amending the list in Annex I to this Regulation

should include providing designated natural or legal persons, entities or bodies

with the grounds for listing, so as to give them an opportunity to submit

observations. Where observations are submitted, or substantial new evidence is

presented, the Council should review its decision in light of those observations and

inform the person, entity or body concerned accordingly.EN 6.3.2014 Official

Journal of the European Union L 66/1

(9) For the implementation of this Regulation, and in order to create

maximum legal certainty within the Union, the names and other relevant data

concerning natural and legal persons, entities and bodies whose funds and

economic resources must be frozen in accordance with this Regulation, must be

made public. Any processing of personal data should comply with Regulation (EC)

No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council * and Directive 95/46/

EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ** .

(10) n order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are

effective, it should enter into force immediately,
