(CAP. 365)

Enforcement of European Union Sanctions

(Sudan) Regulations, 2014

IN exercise of the powers conferred by article 3(2) of the

National Interest (Enabling Powers) Act, the Prime Minister has

made the following regulations:-

The title of these regulations is the Enforcement of

European Union Sanctions (Sudan) Regulations, 2014.

(Regulation 3)

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 131/2004

of 26 January 2004

concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Sudan

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in

particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,

Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/31/CFSP of 9 January

2004 concerning the imposition of an embargo on arms, munitions and military

equipment * on Sudan,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas

(1) In view of the ongoing civil war in Sudan, Common Position 2004/31/

CFSP maintains the arms embargo imposed against that country by Council

Decision 94/165/CFSP ** and strengthens that embargo to include a ban on

technical assistance and other services related to military activities, and on

financial assistance related to military activities.

(2) Common Position 2004/31/CFSP also makes provision for

humanitarian exemptions to the arms embargo, including sale, supply, transfer or

export of equipment and materiel for mine clearance operations in Sudan.

(3) The embargoes on certain technical and financial assistance fall within

the scope of the Treaty. Therefore, notably with a view to avoiding distortion of

competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement the embargoes as

far as the territory of the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this

Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories

of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid

down in that Treaty.

(4) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are

effective, this Regulation should enter into force immediately,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1184/2005

of 18 July 2005

imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons

impeding the peace process and breaking international law in the conflict

in the Darfur region in Sudan

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in

particular Articles 60, 301 and 308 thereof,

Having regard to Common Position 2005/411/CFSP of 30 May 2005

concerning restrictive measures against Sudan *

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament **

Whereas

*OJ L 139, 2.6.2005, p. 25.

**Opinion delivered on 23 June 2005.

(1) In its Resolution 1591 (2005) of 29 March 2005, the UN Security

Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, and

deploring strongly that the Government of Sudan and rebel forces and all other

armed groups in Darfur have failed to comply with their commitments and the

demands of the Security Council, decided to impose certain additional restrictive

measures in respect of Sudan.

(2) Common Position 2005/411/CFSP provides, inter alia, for

implementation of the freezing of funds and economic resources of those persons

designated by the competent United Nations Sanctions Committee, who impede

the peace process, constitute a threat to stability in Darfur and the region, commit

violations of international humanitarian or human rights law or other atrocities,

violate the arms embargo or are responsible for certain offensive military flights in

and over the Darfur region. These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and,

therefore, in order to avoid any distortion of competition, Community measures

are necessary to implement them as far as the Community is concerned.

(3) For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community

should be deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the

Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.

(4) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are

effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.

(5) The Treaty, in Articles 60 and 301, empowers the Council to take, under

certain conditions, measures aimed at the interruption or reduction of payments or

movement of capital and of economic relations with regard to third countries. The

measures laid down in this Regulation, targeted also at individual persons not

directly linked to the government of a third country, are necessary to attain this

objective of the Community and Article 308 of the Treaty empowers the Council to

take such measures if no other specific powers are provided for in the Treaty,
