(Regulation 3)

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 269/2014

of 17 March 2014

concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening

the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of 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 2014/145/CFSP of 17 March 2014

concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening

the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of 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 6 March 2014, the Heads of State or Government of the Union's

Member States strongly condemned the unprovoked violation of Ukrainian

sovereignty and territorial integrity by the Russian Federation and called on the

Russian Federation to immediately withdraw its armed forces to the areas of their

permanent stationing, in accordance with the relevant agreements. They called on

the Russian Federation to enable immediate access for international monitors. The

Heads of State or Government considered that the decision by the Supreme

Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea to hold a referendum on the future

status of the territory is contrary to the Ukrainian Constitution and therefore

illegal.

(2) The Heads of State or Government decided to take actions, including

those envisaged by the Council on 3 March 2014, notably to suspend bilateral talks

with the Russian Federation on visa matters as well as talks with the Russian

Federation on a comprehensive new Agreement which would replace the existing

Partnership and Cooperation Agreement.

(3) The Heads of State or Government underlined that the solution to the

crisis should be found through negotiations between the Governments of Ukraine

and of the Russian Federation, including through potential multilateral

mechanisms, and that in the absence of results within a limited timeframe the

Union will decide on additional measures, such as travel bans, asset freezes and the

cancellation of the EU-Russia summit.

(4) On 17 March 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/145/CFSP

providing for travel restrictions and for the freezing of funds and economic

resources of certain persons responsible for actions which undermine or threaten

the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, including

actions on the future status of any part of the territory which are contrary to the

Ukrainian Constitution, and natural or legal persons, entities or bodies associated

with them. Those natural or legal persons, entities and bodies are listed in the

Annex to that Decision.

(5) Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and,

therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application 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 in particular 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 2014/145/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.

(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 should be frozen in accordance with this Regulation, are to 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) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are
