THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 of 27 May 2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with the Al-Qaida network,1 and in particular Article 7(1)(a), Article 7(1)(b) and 7a(5) thereof,
Whereas:
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.
On 23 November 2012 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council 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 the de-listing request submitted by this person and the Comprehensive Report of the Ombudsperson established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1904(2009). On 25 November 2012, the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council decided to remove another five natural persons from the list. Furthermore, on 15 November 2012 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council decided to amend nine entries on the list.
Slovenia requested that the address details concerning its competent authorities should be amended.
In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force immediately.
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 should therefore be updated accordingly,
