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 network1, and in particular Article 7(1)(a) and Article 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 17 August 2015, the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) decided to amend two entries on the list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply. In addition, on 18 August 2015, the Sanctions Committee of the UNSC decided to remove one person from that list.
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 should therefore be updated accordingly.
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:
