ANNEX I

LIST OF NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS, ENTITIES AND BODIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 5

A.   Natural persons

| 1. | Last name
  : ELHASSAN

  First name(s)
  : Gaffar Mohammed
  Alias
  : Gaffar Mohmed Elhassan
  Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence
  : Date of birth: 24 June 1952;Resides in: El Waha, Omdurman, Sudan.
  Passport/identifying information/status
  : Retired from the Sudanese Army.Ex-serviceman's identification card no: 4302.
  Designation/justification
  : Major-General and Commander of the Western Military Region for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).The Panel of Experts reports that Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan stated to them that he had direct operational command (primarily tactical command) of all elements of the SAF in Darfur while he was in command of the Western Military Region. Elhassan held this position as Western Military Area Commander from November 2004 (approximately) until early 2006. The Panel's information is that Elhassan was responsible for violations of paragraph 7 of UNSCR 1591 (2005) as by virtue of this position he requested (from Khartoum), and authorized as from 29 March 2005, the transfer of military equipment into Darfur without the prior approval of the 1591 Committee. Elhassan himself admitted to the Panel of Experts that aircraft, aircraft engines and other military equipment had been brought into Darfur from other parts of Sudan between 29 March 2005 and December 2005. For example, he informed the Panel that 2 Mi-24 attack helicopters were brought unauthorized into Darfur between 18 and 21 September 2005.There are also reasonable grounds to believe that Elhassan was directly responsible, as Western Military Area Commander, for authorizing offensive military flights in the area around Abu Hamra, 23-24 July 2005 and in the Jebel Moon area of Western Darfur, on 19 November 2005. Mi-24 attack helicopters were involved in both operations and reportedly opened fire on both occasions. The Panel of Experts report that Elhassan indicated to the Panel that he himself approved requests for air support and other air operations in his capacity as Western Military Area Commander. (See Panel of Experts report, S/2006/65, paragraphs 266-269.) Through such actions Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan has breached relevant provisions of UNSCR 1591 (2005) and therefore meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.
  Date of UN designation
  : 25 April 2006. |

  : Sheikh Musa Hilal; Abd Allah; Abdallah; AlNasim; Al Nasim; AlNaseem; Al Naseem; AlNasseem; Al Nasseem
  Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence
  : Date of Birth: 01/01/1964 or 1959;Place of birth: Kutum;Resides in: Kabkabiya and the city of Kutum, Northern Darfur and has resided in Khartoum.

  Designation/justification
  : Paramount Chief of the Jalul Tribe in North Darfur.Report from Human Rights Watch states they have a memo dated 13 February 2004 from a local government office in North Darfur ordering ‘security units in the locality’ to ‘allow the activities of the mujahideen and the volunteers under the command of the Sheikh Musa Hilal to proceed in the areas of [North Darfur] and to secure their vital needs’. On 28 September 2005, 400 Arab militia attacked the villages of Aro Sharrow (including its IDP camp), Acho, and Gozmena in West Darfur. We also believe that Musa Hilal was present during the attack on Aro Sharrow IDP camp: his son had been killed during the SLA attack on Shareia, so he was now involved in a personal blood feud. There are reasonable grounds to believe that as the Paramount Chief he had direct responsibility for these actions and is responsible for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and other atrocities.
  Date of UN designation
  : 25 April 2006 |

| 3. | Last name
  : SHARIF

  First name(s)
  : Adam Yacub
  Alias
  : Adam Yacub Shant; Adam Yacoub
  Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence
  : Date of birth: Circa 1976.
  Passport/identifying information/status
  : Reportedly deceased on 7 June 2012.
  Designation/justification
  : Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) Commander.SLA soldiers under the command of Adam Yacub Shant violated the ceasefire agreement by attacking a Government of Sudan military contingent that was escorting a convoy of trucks near Abu Hamra, Northern Darfur on July 23, 2005 killing three soldiers. After the attack, Government military weapons and ammunition were looted. The Panel of Experts has information establishing that the attack by SLA soldiers took place and was clearly organized; consequently it was well planned. It is therefore reasonable to assume, as the Panel concluded, that Shant, as the confirmed SLA Commander in the area, must have had knowledge of and approved or ordered the attack. He therefore bears direct responsibility for the attack and meets the criteria for being listed.
  Date of UN designation
  : 25 April 2006. |

Mayu openly attempts to thwart the AMIS mission through intimidation; for example he threatened to shoot down African Union (AU) helicopters in the Jebel Moon area in November 2005. Through such actions Mayu has clearly violated UNSCR 1591 (2005) in constituting a threat to stability in Darfur and meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.

(1)  To be estimated the percentage change due to recalculation with respect to the previous submission (percentage change = 100 x [(LS – PS)/PS], where LS = latest submission and PS = previous submission. All cases of recalculation of the estimate of the source/sink category must be addressed and explained in the NIR.

(2)  Total emissions refer to total aggregate GHG emissions expressed in terms of CO2 equivalent, excluding GHGs from the LULUCF sector. The impact of the recalculation on the total emissions is calculated as follows: impact of recalculation (%) = 100 x [(source (LS) — source (PS))/total emissions (LS)], where LS = latest submission, PS = previous submission.

(3)  Total emissions refer to total aggregate GHG emissions expressed in terms of CO2 equivalent, including GHGs from the LULUCF sector. The impact of the recalculation on the total emissions is calculated as follows: impact of recalculation (%) = 100 x [(source (LS) — source (PS))/total emissions (LS)], where LS = latest submission, PS = previous submission.

(4)  Net CO2 emissions/removals to be reported.

---

(1)  IPCC categories pursuant to 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas inventories and revised UNFCCC CRF tables for inventory reporting

(2)  ODS — ozone-depleting substances.

(3)  Use of notation keys: as regards the terms of use defined in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (chapter 8: reporting guidance and tables), the notation keys of IE (included elsewhere), NO (not occurring), C (confidential) and NA (not applicable) may be used, as appropriate when projections do not yield data on a specific reporting level (see 2006 IPCC Guidelines).

The use of the notation key NE (Not Estimated) is restricted to the situation where a disproportionate amount of effort would be required to collect data for a category or a gas from a specific category that would be insignificant in terms of the overall level and trend in national emissions. In these circumstances a Member State should list all categories and gases from categories excluded on these grounds, together with a justification for exclusion in terms of the likely level of emissions or removals and identify the category as ‘not estimated’ using the notation key ‘NE’ in the reporting tables.

(4)  Please add a row per indicator used in the projections

(5)  Please add a row per parameter used in the projections. Note that this includes the term ‘variables’ because some of the parameters listed can be variables for certain projection tools used, depending on the models used.

(6)  To be filled with Yes/No

(7)  Please specify additional different values for parameters used in different sector models

(8)  Use of notation keys: the notation keys of IE (included elsewhere), NO (not occurring), C (confidential), NA (not applicable), and NE (Not estimated/Not used) may be used, as appropriate. The use of the notation key NE (Not estimated) is for cases where the suggested parameter is neither used as a driver nor reported along with the Member States Projections.

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(1) and (7) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 91/496/EEC provides, inter alia, that if a disease or any other phenomenon liable to present a serious threat to animal or human health occurs or spreads in the territory of a third country, or if any other serious animal health reason so warrants, the Commission, acting on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State, is permitted to adopt measures without delay, including special conditions in respect of animals coming from all or part of the third country concerned. |

| (7) | Due to the need to protect animal health in the Union and the serious threat posed by the introduction into the Union of live pigs for breeding and/or production the Commission should adopt provisional safeguard measures for consignments of those animals from affected third countries listed in Annex I to this Regulation. Accordingly, consignments of those animals should be accompanied by a health certificate in accordance with the model set out in Annex II to this Regulation which provides for specific guarantees in regard of porcine epidemic diarrhoea caused by the emerging alphacoronavirus and the new porcine deltacoronavirus |

ANNEX

LIST OF PERSONS AND ENTITIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLES 4 AND 5

1.

Last name
  : ELHASSAN

  First name(s)
  : Gaffar Mohammed
  Alias
  : Gaffar Mohmed Elhassan
  Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence
  : Date of birth: 24 June 1952;Resides in: El Waha, Omdurman, Sudan.
  Passport/identifying information/status
  : Retired from the Sudanese Army.Ex-serviceman's identification card no: 4302.
  Designation/justification
  : Major-General and Commander of the Western Military Region for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).The Panel of Experts reports that Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan stated to them that he had direct operational command (primarily tactical command) of all elements of the SAF in Darfur while he was in command of the Western Military Region. Elhassan held this position as Western Military Area Commander from November 2004 (approximately) until early 2006. The Panel's information is that Elhassan was responsible for violations of paragraph 7 of UNSCR 1591 (2005) as by virtue of this position he requested (from Khartoum), and authorized as from 29 March 2005, the transfer of military equipment into Darfur without the prior approval of the 1591 Committee. Elhassan himself admitted to the Panel of Experts that aircraft, aircraft engines and other military equipment had been brought into Darfur from other parts of Sudan between 29 March 2005 and December 2005. For example, he informed the Panel that 2 Mi-24 attack helicopters were brought unauthorized into Darfur between 18 and 21 September 2005.There are also reasonable grounds to believe that Elhassan was directly responsible, as Western Military Area Commander, for authorizing offensive military flights in the area around Abu Hamra, 23-24 July 2005 and in the Jebel Moon area of Western Darfur, on 19 November 2005. Mi-24 attack helicopters were involved in both operations and reportedly opened fire on both occasions. The Panel of Experts report that Elhassan indicated to the Panel that he himself approved requests for air support and other air operations in his capacity as Western Military Area Commander. (See Panel of Experts report, S/2006/65, paragraphs 266-269.) Through such actions Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan has breached relevant provisions of UNSCR 1591 (2005) and therefore meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.
  Date of UN designation
  : 25 April 2006.

Last name
  : ALNSIEM

  First name(s)
  : Musa Hilal Abdalla
  Alias
  : Sheikh Musa Hilal; Abd Allah; Abdallah; AlNasim; Al Nasim; AlNaseem; Al Naseem; AlNasseem; Al Nasseem
  Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence
  : Date of Birth: 01/01/1964 or 1959;Place of birth: Kutum;Resides in: Kabkabiya and the city of Kutum, Northern Darfur and has resided in Khartoum.
  Passport/identifying information/status
  : Diplomatic Passport No: D014433,Issued on 21 February 2013; Expires 21 February 2015.Certificate of Nationality No: A0680623.Member of the National Assembly of Sudan. In 2008, appointed by the President of Sudan as special adviser to the Ministry of Federal Affairs.
  Designation/justification
  : Paramount Chief of the Jalul Tribe in North Darfur.Report from Human Rights Watch states they have a memo dated 13 February 2004 from a local government office in North Darfur ordering ‘security units in the locality’ to ‘allow the activities of the mujahideen and the volunteers under the command of the Sheikh Musa Hilal to proceed in the areas of [North Darfur] and to secure their vital needs’. On 28 September 2005, 400 Arab militia attacked the villages of Aro Sharrow (including its IDP camp), Acho, and Gozmena in West Darfur. We also believe that Musa Hilal was present during the attack on Aro Sharrow IDP camp: his son had been killed during the SLA attack on Shareia, so he was now involved in a personal blood feud. There are reasonable grounds to believe that as the Paramount Chief he had direct responsibility for these actions and is responsible for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and other atrocities.
  Date of UN designation
  : 25 April 2006

3.

Last name
  : SHARIF

  First name(s)
  : Adam Yacub
  Alias
  : Adam Yacub Shant; Adam Yacoub
  Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence
  : Date of birth: Circa 1976.
  Passport/identifying information/status
  : Reportedly deceased on 7 June 2012.
  Designation/justification
  : Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) Commander.SLA soldiers under the command of Adam Yacub Shant violated the ceasefire agreement by attacking a Government of Sudan military contingent that was escorting a convoy of trucks near Abu Hamra, Northern Darfur on July 23, 2005 killing three soldiers. After the attack, Government military weapons and ammunition were looted. The Panel of Experts has information establishing that the attack by SLA soldiers took place and was clearly organized; consequently it was well planned. It is therefore reasonable to assume, as the Panel concluded, that Shant, as the confirmed SLA Commander in the area, must have had knowledge of and approved or ordered the attack. He therefore bears direct responsibility for the attack and meets the criteria for being listed.
  Date of UN designation
  : 25 April 2006.

4.

  : Jibril Abdulkarim Ibrahim

Mayu openly attempts to thwart the AMIS mission through intimidation; for example he threatened to shoot down African Union (AU) helicopters in the Jebel Moon area in November 2005. Through such actions Mayu has clearly violated UNSCR 1591 (2005) in constituting a threat to stability in Darfur and meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.
