persons obstructing the political process in South Sudan, including by

acts of violence or violations of ceasefire agreements, as well as

persons responsible for serious violations of human rights in South

Sudan.

adopted Resolution (UNSCR) 2206 (2015) providing for restrictions

on admission and the freezing of funds and economic resources of

certain persons responsible for, complicit in or having engaged in,

directly or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace,

security or stability of South Sudan.

(3) In Decision (CFSP) 2015/740 (3), the Council decided to

integrate the restrictive measures provided for by UNSCR 2206

(2015) and the restrictive measures imposed by Decision 2014/449/

CFSP into a single legal instrument.

(4) Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty

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

in order to give effect to them, in particular with a view to ensuring

their uniform application by economic operators in all Member

States.

(5) 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.

(6) The power to amend the list in Annexes I and II to this

Regulation should be exercised by the Council, in view of the specific

threat to international peace and security in the region posed by the

situation in South Sudan and in order to ensure consistency with the

process for amending and reviewing the Annexes to Decision (CFSP)

2015/740.

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

ensure 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 Directive 95/46/ECof

the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and Regulation (EC)

No 45/2001of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).
