THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/31/CFSP of 9 January 2004 concerning the imposition of an embargo on arms, munitions and military equipment(1) on Sudan,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In view of the ongoing civil war in Sudan, Common Position 2004/31/CFSP maintains the arms embargo imposed against that country by Council Decision 94/165/CFSP(2) and strengthens that embargo to include a ban on technical assistance and other services related to military activities, and on financial assistance related to military activities.
(2) Common Position 2004/31/CFSP also makes provision for humanitarian exemptions to the arms embargo, including sale, supply, transfer or export of equipment and materiel for mine clearance operations in Sudan.
(3) The embargoes on certain technical and financial assistance fall within the scope of the Treaty. Therefore, notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement the embargoes as far as the territory of the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.
(4) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force immediately,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
OJ L 75, 17.3.1994, p. 1. Decision repealed by Common Position 2004/31/CFSP.
