of 10 November 2008

amending Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 concerning restrictive measures against Iran

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,

Having regard to Common Position 2008/652/CFSP of 7 August 2008 amending Common Position 2007/140/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Iran (1),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | Common Position 2008/652/CFSP provides for additional restrictive measures concerning, inter alia, persons and entities subject to an assets freeze, the withholding of public financial support, including export credits, guarantees and insurance, in order to avoid any financial support that could contribute to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems, and the inspection of cargoes to and from Iran by aircraft and vessels owned or operated by Iran Air Cargo and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line provided there are reasonable grounds to believe that the aircraft or vessel is transporting goods prohibited by that Common Position. Common Position 2008/652/CFSP also provides for a prohibition of the supply, sale or transfer of certain items, materials, equipment, goods and technology that could contribute to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems. |

Common Position 2008/652/CFSP provides for additional restrictive measures concerning, inter alia, persons and entities subject to an assets freeze, the withholding of public financial support, including export credits, guarantees and insurance, in order to avoid any financial support that could contribute to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems, and the inspection of cargoes to and from Iran by aircraft and vessels owned or operated by Iran Air Cargo and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line provided there are reasonable grounds to believe that the aircraft or vessel is transporting goods prohibited by that Common Position. Common Position 2008/652/CFSP also provides for a prohibition of the supply, sale or transfer of certain items, materials, equipment, goods and technology that could contribute to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems.

| (2) | Common Position 2008/652/CFSP also calls upon all the Member States to exercise vigilance over the activities of financial institutions within their jurisdiction with banks domiciled in Iran and their branches and subsidiaries abroad, in order to prevent such activities from contributing to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or to the development of nuclear weapons delivery systems. To that end, certain provisions of the said Common Position relate to Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2005 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and terrorist financing (2). |

| (3) | It should be clarified that submitting and forwarding the necessary documents to a bank for the purpose of their final transfer to a person, entity or body that is not listed in order to trigger payments allowed under Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 (3) does not constitute the making available of funds within the meaning of Article 7(3) of that Regulation. |

| (4) | Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 imposed certain restrictive measures against Iran, in line with Common Position 2007/140/CFSP. As a result, economic operators are exposed to the risk of claims and it is therefore necessary to protect such operators permanently against claims in connection with any contract or other transaction the performance of which was affected by reason of the measures imposed by that Regulation. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 7 November 2008

on emergency measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Community of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster)

(notified under document number C(2008) 6631)

(2008/840/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the third sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC, Anoplophora malasiaca (Forster) and Anoplophora chinensis (Thomson) are listed. Recent studies have found that those two denominations cover in fact one single species of harmful organism. For the purposes of this Decision it is therefore appropriate to use the single revised scientific denomination Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) to designate what is listed in that Annex as Anoplophora malasiaca (Forster) and Anoplophora chinensis (Thomson). |

For the purposes of this Decision it is therefore appropriate to use the single revised scientific denomination Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) to designate what is listed in that Annex as Anoplophora malasiaca (Forster) and Anoplophora chinensis (Thomson).

| (2) | Under Directive 2000/29/EC, where a Member State considers that there is a danger of introduction into or spread within its territory of a harmful organism whether or not listed in Annexes I or II to that Directive, it may temporarily take any additional measures necessary to protect itself from that danger. |

(2)

Under Directive 2000/29/EC, where a Member State considers that there is a danger of introduction into or spread within its territory of a harmful organism whether or not listed in Annexes I or II to that Directive, it may temporarily take any additional measures necessary to protect itself from that danger.

| (3) | As a result of the presence of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) on various host plants in the region of Lombardy, Italy informed the Commission and the other Member States on 23 November 2007 that it had adopted additional measures on 9 November 2007 to prevent the further introduction into and spread within its territory of that organism. |

| (4) | As a result of findings of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) on various host plants in the Netherlands, the Commission and other Member States were informed on 21 January 2008 of the measures taken to eradicate that organism in the Netherlands. |

(4)

As a result of findings of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) on various host plants in the Netherlands, the Commission and other Member States were informed on 21 January 2008 of the measures taken to eradicate that organism in the Netherlands.

| (5) | Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) has been recently intercepted on many consignments of plants for planting of Acer spp. originating in third countries. At present, there are no special requirements in relation to this harmful organism for plants of Acer spp., nor for other plants which are amongst the most susceptible hosts plants, originating in third countries or in the Community. |

At present, there are no special requirements in relation to this harmful organism for plants of Acer spp., nor for other plants which are amongst the most susceptible hosts plants, originating in third countries or in the Community.

| (6) | A pest risk analysis on Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) was released in 2008 by the Netherlands, which concluded that there is a very high probability of establishment of the organism in the Community and a high potential of economic damage to several host plants. |

| (7) | It is therefore necessary to take emergency measures against the introduction into and spread within the Community of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster). The measures should apply to a list of plants of any origin, the ‘specified plants’, known to be hosts of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) and which present the highest risk of being infested. |

| (8) | Measures should be defined for the import of the specified plants as regards their production in third countries and inspections at entry into the Community. Measures should also be defined for the production, movement and control of the specified plants originating in areas in the Community where the presence of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) is confirmed. |

COUNCIL FRAMEWORK DECISION 2008/841/JHA

of 24 October 2008

on the fight against organised crime

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 29, 31(1)(e) and 34(2)(b) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

| (1) | The objective of the Hague Programme is to improve the common capability of the Union and the Member States for the purpose, among others, of combating transnational organised crime. This objective is to be pursued by, in particular, the approximation of legislation. Closer cooperation between the Member States of the European Union is needed in order to counter the dangers and proliferation of criminal organisations and to respond effectively to citizens’ expectations and Member States’ own requirements. In this respect point 14 of the conclusions of the Brussels European Council of 4 and 5 November 2004 states that the citizens of Europe expect the European Union, while guaranteeing respect for fundamental freedoms and rights, to take a more effective, combined approach to cross-border problems such as organised crime. |

| (2) | In its Communication of 29 March 2004 on measures to be taken to combat terrorism and other forms of serious crime, the Commission considered that the facilities available for combating organised crime in the EU needed to be strengthened and stated that it would draw up a Framework Decision to replace Joint Action 98/733/JHA of 21 December 1998 on making it a criminal offence to participate in a criminal organisation in the Member States of the European Union (2). |

| (3) | Point 3.3.2 of the Hague Programme states that the approximation of substantive criminal law serves the purpose of facilitating mutual recognition of judgments and judicial decisions and police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters and concerns areas of particularly serious crime with cross-border dimensions and that priority should be given to areas of crime that are specifically mentioned in the Treaties. The definition of offences relating to participation in a criminal organisation should therefore be approximated in the Member States. Thus, this Framework Decision should encompass crimes which are typically committed in a criminal organisation. It should provide, moreover, for the imposition of penalties corresponding to the seriousness of those offences, on natural and legal persons who committed them or are responsible for their commission. |

Nothing in this Framework Decision is intended to reduce or restrict national rules relating to fundamental rights or freedoms such as due process, the right to strike, freedom of assembly, of association, of the press or of expression, including the right of everyone to form and to join trade unions with others for the protection of his or her interests and the related right to demonstrate. |
