COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2015/192

of 9 February 2015

amending Regulation (EC) No 174/2005 imposing restrictions on the supply of assistance related to military activities to Côte d'Ivoire

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2010/656/CFSP of 29 October 2010 renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d'Ivoire (1),

Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Decision 2010/656/CFSP repealed Council Common Position 2004/852/CFSP (2) and renewed the restrictive measures imposed against Côte d'Ivoire in order to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution (‘UNSCR’) 1572 (2004) and successor UNSCRs. Council Regulation (EC) No 174/2005 (3) was adopted to give effect to Common Position 2004/852/CFSP and now gives effect to Decision 2010/656/CFSP at Union level by imposing restrictions on the supply, to Côte d'Ivoire, of assistance related to military activities.
 

(2)

An additional derogation from the prohibition on the sale, supply, transfer and export of equipment which might be used for internal repression should be introduced in order to enable the authorisation of certain equipment, where appropriate, for the purposes of civilian use in mining or infrastucture projects, following the adoption of Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/202 (4).
 

(3)

That measure falls within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring uniform application of the measure by economic operators in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement it.
 

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 174/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 174/2005 is amended as follows:

 

(1)

Article 1 is deleted.
 

(2)

Article 4a is replaced by the following:

‘Article 4a

  • 1. 
    By way of derogation from Article 3, the competent authority, as listed in Annex II, of the Member State where the exporter is established or, in the case that the exporter is not established within the Union, the Member State from which the equipment may be sold, supplied, transferred or exported, may authorise, under such conditions as it deems appropriate, the sale, supply, transfer or export of non-lethal equipment included in Annex I, after having determined that the non-lethal equipment concerned is intended solely to enable the Ivorian security forces to use only appropriate and proportionate force while maintaining public order.
  • 2. 
    By way of derogation from Article 3, the competent authority, as listed in Annex II, of the Member State where the exporter is established or, in the case that the exporter is not established within the Union, the Member State from which the equipment may be sold, supplied, transferred or exported, may authorise, under such conditions as it deems appropriate, the sale, supply, transfer or export of equipment that might be used for internal repression as listed in Annex I, which is intended solely for the support of the Ivorian process of Security Sector Reform and for support or use by the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) and the French forces who support them.
  • 3. 
    The authorisations referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be granted in accordance with the detailed rules laid down in Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 and shall be valid throughout the Union.
