Schedule

(Regulation 3)

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 833/2014 of 31 July 2014 concerning

restrictive measures in view of Russia's actions destabilising 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 2014/512/CFSP concerning restrictive

measures in view of Russia's actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine ( 7 ),

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) Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 ( 8 ) gives effect to certain

measures provided for in Decision 2014/145/CFSP ( 9 ). Those measures comprise

the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain natural and legal persons,

entities and bodies and restrictions on certain investments, as a response to the

illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol.

(2) On 22 July 2014, the Council concluded that should Russia fail to

respond to the demands formulated in the European Council conclusions of 27

June 2014 and in its own conclusions of 22 July, it would be ready to introduce

without delay a package of further significant restrictive measures. It is therefore

considered appropriate to apply additional restrictive measures with a view to

increasing the costs of Russia's actions to undermine Ukraine's territorial integrity,

sovereignty and independence and to promoting a peaceful settlement of the crisis.

These measures will be kept under review and may be suspended or withdrawn, or

be supplemented by other restrictive measures, in light of developments on the

ground.

(3) It is appropriate to apply restrictions on exports of certain dual-use

goods and technology, as laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 ( 10 ),

and on the provision of related services and to apply restrictions on certain

services related to the supply of arms and military equipment, if an embargo on

such goods is applied by the Member States. This prohibition should not affect the

exports of dual-use goods and technology, including for aeronautics and for the

space industry, for non-military use or for a non-military end-user.

(4) It is also appropriate to apply restrictions on the sale, supply, transfer

or export, directly or indirectly, of certain technologies for the oil industry in Russia

in the form of a prior authorisation requirement.

(5) It is also appropriate to apply restrictions on access to the capital

market for certain financial institutions, excluding Russia-based institutions with

international status established by intergovernmental agreements with Russia as

one of the shareholders. Other financial services such as deposit business, payment

services and loans to or from the institutions covered by this Regulation, other

than those referred to in Article 5, are not covered by this Regulation.

(6) These 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.
