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 2010/231/CFSP of 26 April 2010 concerning restrictive measures against Somalia(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) Council Regulation (EC) No 147/2003(2) imposes a general ban on the provision of technical advice, assistance, training, financing and financial assistance related to military activities to any person, entity or body in Somalia.
(2) On 25 July 2012, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted Resolution 2060 (2012), which provides, at paragraph 10, for a derogation from the prohibition of assistance related to weapons and military equipment intended for the United Nations Political Office for Somalia, as approved in advance by the Committee established pursuant to UNSC Resolution 751 (1992).
(3) On 15 October 2012, the Council adopted Decision 2012/633/CFSP(3), which amends Decision 2010/231/CFSP and provides for such a derogation.
(4) This measure falls within the scope of the Treaty and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement it, in particular with a view to ensuring its uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
