Whereas:

(2) On 22 July 2013 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) decided to remove one natural person from its list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply after considering a de-listing request submitted by this person and the Comprehensive Report of the Ombudsperson established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1904(2009). Furthermore, on 19 July 2013, the Sanctions Committee of the UNSC decided to amend one entry on the list.
