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-Qaeda network1, and in particular Article 7(1)(a) and Article 7a(1) and (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 31 March 2015, 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. On 7 April 2015 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council approved the addition of one natural person to its list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply.
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, it should enter into force immediately,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
