of 5 July 2012
amending for the 172nd time Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with the Al Qaida network
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) 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 21 June 2012 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council decided to remove two natural persons from its list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply after considering the de-listing requests submitted by these persons and the Comprehensive Reports of the Ombudsperson established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1904(2009). On 27 June 2012, it decided to remove another natural person from the list. Furthermore, on 10 May 2012, 25 May 2012 and 21 June 2012, it decided to amend five entries on the list.
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 should therefore be updated accordingly.
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
