table>(1)Council Regulation (EU) No 1284/2009 (2) imposed certain specific restrictive measures in respect of the Republic of Guinea, in accordance with Council Common Position 2009/788/CFSP (3) (later replaced by Council Decision 2010/638/CFSP (4)), in response to the violent crackdown by security forces on political demonstrators in Conakry on 28 September 2009.
(2)Decision 2010/638/CFSP was amended by Decision 2011/706/CFSP in order to modify, inter alia, the scope of the measures relating to military equipment and equipment capable of being used for internal repression.

(4)Regulation (EU) No 1284/2009 should be amended accordingly,
