restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in

resources of certain persons responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran. Those

persons and entities are listed in the Annex to the Decision.

(2) The restrictive measures should target persons complicit in or responsible for

directing or implementing grave human rights violations in the repression of peaceful

demonstrators, journalists, human rights defenders, students or other persons who speak

persons complicit in or responsible for directing or implementing grave violations of the

right to due process, torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, or the

indiscriminate, excessive and increasing application of the death penalty, including public

executions, stoning, hangings or executions of juvenile offenders in contravention of

Iran’s international human rights obligations.

(3) Those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the

European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in

order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by

economic operators in all Member States.

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

(6) The procedure for amending the lists in Annex I to this Regulation should

include providing designated 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.

(7) 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

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 267/2012 of 23 March 2012 concerning restrictive

measures against Iran and repealing Regulation (EU) No 961/2010

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 2012/35/CFSP of 23 January 2012 amending

Decision 2010/413/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Iran ( 1 ),

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

Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

Whereas

(1) On 25 October 2010, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 on

restrictive measures against Iran and repealing Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 ( 2 ), in order

to give effect to Council Decision 2010/413/CFSP ( 3 ).

(2) On 23 January 2012, the Council approved Decision 2012/35/CFSP providing

for additional restrictive measures against the Islamic Republic of Iran ('Iran') as requested

by the European Council on 9 December 2011.

(3) Those restrictive measures comprise, in particular, additional restrictions on

trade in dual-use goods and technology, as well as on key equipment and technology

which could be used in the petrochemical industry, a ban on the import of Iranian crude

oil, petroleum products and petrochemical products, as well as a prohibition of investment

in the petrochemical industry. Moreover, trade in gold, precious metals and diamonds with

the Government of Iran, as well as the delivery of newly printed banknotes and coinage to

or for the benefit of the Central Bank of Iran, should be prohibited.

(4) Certain technical amendments to existing measures have also become

necessary. In particular, the definition of "brokering services" should be clarified. In cases

where the purchase, sale, supply, transfer or export of goods and technology or of financial

and technical services may be authorised by a competent authority no separate

authorisation of related brokering services will be required.

(5) The definition of "transfers of funds" should be broadened to non-electronic

transfers so as to counter attempts at circumventing the restrictive measures.

(6) The revised restrictive measures concerning dual-use goods should cover all

goods and technology set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5

May 2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering

and transit of dual-use items ( 4 ), with the exception of certain items in Part 2 of category 5

thereof in view of their use in public communication services in Iran. However, the

prohibitions in Article 2 of this Regulation do not apply to the sale, supply, transfer or

OJ L 19, 24.01.2012, p. 22.

OJ L 281, 27.10.2010, p. 1.

OJ L 195, 27.7.2010, p. 39.

OJ L 134, 29.5.2009, p. 1.

export of goods and technology newly listed in Annex I or II of this Regulation for which

an authorisation has already been granted by the competent authorities of the Member

States pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 prior to the entry into force

of this Regulation.

(7) In order to ensure the effective implementation of the prohibition on the sale,

supply, transfer or export to Iran of certain key equipment or technology which could be

used in the key sectors of the oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries, lists of such

key equipment and technology should be provided.

(8) For the same reason, lists of items subject to trade restrictions on crude oil and

petroleum products, petrochemical products, gold, precious metals and diamonds should

also be provided.

(9) In addition, to be effective, restrictions on investment in the Iranian oil and gas

sector should cover certain key activities, such as bulk gas transmission services for the

purpose of transit or delivery to directly interconnected grids, and, for the same reason,

should apply to joint ventures as well as other forms of associations and cooperation with

Iran in the sector of the transmission of natural gas.

(10) Effective restrictions on Iranian investment in the Union require that measures

be taken to prohibit natural or legal persons, entities and bodies subject to the jurisdiction

of the Member States from enabling or authorising such investment.

(11) Decision 2012/35/CFSP also extends the freezing of assets to additional

persons, entities or bodies providing support to the Government of Iran, including

financial, logistical and material support, or associated with them. The Decision also

extends the freezing measures to other members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard

Corps.

(12) Decision 2012/35/CFSP also provides for the freezing of the assets of the

Central Bank of Iran. However, in consideration of possible involvement of the Central

Bank of Iran in the financing of foreign trade, derogations are deemed necessary as this

targeted financial measure should not prevent trade operations, including contracts

relating to foodstuffs, healthcare, medical equipment or for humanitarian purposes in

accordance with the provisions of this Regulation. The exemptions in Articles 12 and 14

of this Regulation concerning contracts for the import, purchase or transport of Iranian

crude oil, petroleum products and petrochemical products concluded before 23 January

2012 also apply to ancillary contracts, including transport, insurance or inspections

contracts necessary for the execution of such contracts. Furthermore, Iranian crude oil,

petroleum products and petrochemical products which are legally imported into a Member

State pursuant to the exemptions in Articles 12 and 14 of this Regulation are to be

considered as being in free circulation within the Union.

(13) It is prohibited, pursuant to the obligation to freeze the assets of Islamic

Republic of Iran Shipping Line (IRISL) and of entities owned or controlled by IRISL to

load and unload cargoes on and from vessels owned or chartered by IRISL or by such

entities in ports of Member States. Moreover, the transfer of ownership of vessels owned,

controlled or chartered by IRISL companies to other entities is also prohibited pursuant to

the freezing of IRISL's assets. However, the obligation to freeze the funds and economic

resources of IRISL and of entities owned or controlled by IRISL does not require the

impounding or detention of vessels owned by such entities or the cargoes carried by them

insofar as such cargoes belong to third parties, nor does it require the detention of the crew

contracted by them.

(14) In consideration of Iran's attempts at circumventing the sanctions, it should be

clarified that all funds and economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by

persons, entities or bodies listed in Annexes I or II to Decision 2010/413/CFSP are to be

frozen without delay, including those of successor entities established to circumvent the

measures set out in this Regulation.

(15) It should also be clarified that submitting and forwarding the necessary

documents to a bank for the purpose of their final transfer to a person, entity or body that

is not listed, to trigger payments allowed under this Regulation, does not constitute

making funds available within the meaning of this Regulation.

(16) It should be clarified that funds or economic resources should be able to be

released for the official purposes of diplomatic or consular missions or international

organisations enjoying immunities in accordance with international law, in conformity

with the provisions of this Regulation.

(17) The application of targeted financial measures by providers of specialised

financial messaging services should be further developed, in conformity with the

provisions of this Regulation.

It should be clarified that the assets of non-designated persons, entities or bodies

held at designated credit and financial institutions should not remain frozen in application

of the targeted financial measures and should be able to be released under the conditions

provided for in this Regulation.

In consideration of Iran's attempts at using its financial system for the purpose of

circumventing the sanctions, it is necessary to require enhanced vigilance in relation to the

activities of Iran's credit and financial institutions so as to prevent circumvention of this

Regulation, including the freezing of the assets of the Central Bank of Iran. These

enhanced vigilance requirements for credit and financial institutions should be

complementary to existing obligations deriving from Regulation (EC) 1781/2006 of the

European Parliament and of the Council of 15 November 2006 on information on the

payer accompanying transfers of funds ( 1 ) and from the implementation of Directive 2005/

60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2005 on the

prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and

terrorist financing ( 2 ).

(18) Certain provisions regarding the controls of funds transfers should be

reviewed in order to facilitate their application by competent authorities and operators and

to prevent circumvention of the provisions of this Regulation, including the freezing of the

assets of the Central Bank of Iran.

(19) Furthermore, the restrictions on insurance should be adjusted, in particular

with a view to clarifying that the insurance of diplomatic and consular missions within the

OJ L 345, 8.12.2006, p. 1.

OJ L 309, 25.11.2005, p. 15.

Union is permitted, and to allow for the provision of third party liability insurance or

environmental liability insurance.

(20) Moreover, the requirement to submit pre-arrival and pre-departure information

should be updated, since this obligation has become generally applicable to all goods

entering or leaving the customs territory of the Union following the full implementation as

from 1 January 2012 of the customs security measures laid down in the relevant provisions

concerning entry and exit summary declarations in Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 ( 1 ) and

in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 ( 2 ).

(21) Adjustments should also be made concerning the provision of bunkering and

ship supply services, the liability of operators and the prohibition of the circumvention of

the relevant restrictive measures.

(22) The mechanisms for exchange of information between Member States and the

Commission should be reviewed so as to ensure the effective implementation and uniform

interpretation of this Regulation.

(23) In consideration of its objectives, the ban on internal repression equipment

should be provided for under Regulation (EU) No 359/2011 concerning restrictive

measures directed against certain persons, entities and bodies in view of the situation in

Iran ( 3 ), rather than under this Regulation.

(24) For the sake of clarity, Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 should be repealed and

replaced by this Regulation.

(25) The restrictive measures provided for in this Regulation fall within the scope

of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and legislation at the level of the

Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to

ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.

(26) 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, the right to property and the

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

those rights and principles.

(27) This Regulation also respects the obligations of Member States under the

Charter of the United Nations and the legally binding nature of Resolutions of the United

Nations Security Council.

(28) The procedure for the designation of persons subject to freezing measures

under 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 the light of those observations and inform the

person, entity or body concerned accordingly.

OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1.

OJ L 100, 14.4.2011, p. 1.

(29) For the implementation of this Regulation, and 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 the Regulation, should be made public. Any processing of personal data

of natural persons under this Regulation should be in conformity with Regulation (EC) No

45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the

protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community

institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data ( 1 ) and Directive 95/46/EC

of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of

individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of

such data ( 2 ).

effective, it should enter into force on the day of its publication,

afterwards, EIH resumed Euro-

August 2010, EIH was setting up a

system to enable routine payments

such a way as to avoid EU sanc-
