EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

(1) 
On 23 December 2013, the Council adopted
Decision 2013/798/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against the Central
African Republic providing for arms embargo, in accordance with the United
Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2127 (2013) of 5 December 2013.

(2) 
On 13 January 2014 the High Representative of
the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and
the Commission made a proposal for a Regulation concerning restrictive measures
in view of the situation in the Central African Republic. The Council decided
to suspend acting on this proposal pending the adoption of a new UNSCR by the United
Nations Security Council.

(3) 
On 28 January 2014, the United Nations Security
Council adopted Resolution 2134 (2014) which extended and clarified the arms
embargo imposed by UNSCR 2127 (2013) and provided for the freezing of funds and
economic resources of certain persons engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace,
stability or security of the Central African Republic.

(4) 
Further action by the Union is needed in order
to implement UNSCR 2134 (2014).

(5) 
The Council is preparing a decision amending
Decision 2013/798/CFSP to give effect to UNSCR 2134 (2014).

(6) 
The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the
Commission should therefore make a new proposal for a Regulation concerning
restrictive measures in view of the situation in the Central African Republic. The proposal of 13 January 2014 should
be withdrawn.
