Reportedly deceased as of November 2018. INTERPOL-UN Security Council Special Notice web link: https://www.interpol.int/en/ notice/search/un/5905294

Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:

A senior Taliban leader as of late 2014, Torek Agha (Torek) has served on the Taliban's ‘Quetta shura’, a regional body that directs Taliban activities in southern and western Afghanistan, and played a role in raising funds from Gulf-based donors.

As of late 2014, Torek was a member of a group responsible for the Taliban leadership's strategic planning and logistics operations and also operated as a key commander and member of the Taliban's military council, and authorized and facilitated Taliban military operations. The Taliban military council is one of three command level councils and is responsible for overseeing Taliban operations and approving appointments of Taliban military leadership.

Over the years, Torek was involved in authorizing the assassination of numerous Afghan Government officials and tribal elders. Additionally, as early as 2012, he was one of four senior Taliban commanders who authorized the use of an unidentified chemical powder to assassinate senior Afghan Government officials.

After being instructed in mid-2011 by a Taliban senior leader to travel to Saudi Arabia during Ramadan to arrange external funding, in 2012 Torek and several other Taliban ‘Quetta shura’ members selected mullahs to travel to Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries to collect financial donations on the Taliban's behalf from both Afghan businessmen and smugglers. As of early 2012, Torek received a donation from an unidentified Arab donor with instructions to pass the money to the Taliban's provincial shadow governor of Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, for assassination operations.

Torek collected approximately USD 4 million from Gulf-based donors for the Taliban in 2010, the majority of which he provided to fellow senior leader and Taliban finance collector Gul Agha Ishakzai (Gul Agha). The amounts and sources of Torek's multiple 2010 Taliban fundraising transfers to Gul Agha were as follows: USD 1 million from associates in Saudi Arabia; USD 2 million from donors in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia; and USD 600 000 from various Arab donors obtained on a fundraising trip to Qatar.

As of late 2009, Torek held USD 2 million from unidentified Qatar and Saudi Arabia donors intended for the Taliban's ‘Quetta shura’ treasurer. The substantial donations Torek collected for the Taliban ‘Quetta shura’ during Ramadan were held in unidentified Pakistani banks and were under the control of the Taliban's head treasurer.

In mid-2006, Torek assigned Taliban fighters to various operational Taliban commanders. He was one of the main links between the Taliban leadership and groups of Arab fighters arriving in Pakistan and Afghanistan to fight the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).’

  FOREWORD

  The revision of the European system of accounts (ESA 2010) (*1) has led to some revisions of the basic methodology used for the EAA, to guarantee consistency with the ESA to allow harmonisation of the EAA both between Member States and with the central framework of the national accounts and to ensure that the changes to be made were feasible. This manual has been drawn up with these considerations in mind as, in addition to the concepts, principles and basic rules for compiling the EAA, it also refers to any adaptations to specific characteristics in the field of agriculture.

in paragraph 1.02, footnote (2) is replaced by the following:

| (b) | in paragraph 1.03 the last sentence is replaced by the following:

  ‘The ESA 2010 is characterised by the use of two types of unit and two corresponding ways of subdividing the national economy.’; |

(b)

in paragraph 1.03 the last sentence is replaced by the following:

‘The ESA 2010 is characterised by the use of two types of unit and two corresponding ways of subdividing the national economy.’;

| (c) | in paragraph 1.08 the last sentence is replaced by the following:

  ‘These two types of income (income generated by agricultural production and the income of agricultural households) are measured for two distinct purposes, which require two distinct methods of breaking down the economy: the first, for the EAA, is based on production units, which are defined by reference to an economic activity; the second is based on households (i.e. institutional units) whose main source of income is independent agricultural activity.’; |
| --- | --- |

(c)

in paragraph 1.08 the last sentence is replaced by the following:

‘These two types of income (income generated by agricultural production and the income of agricultural households) are measured for two distinct purposes, which require two distinct methods of breaking down the economy: the first, for the EAA, is based on production units, which are defined by reference to an economic activity; the second is based on households (i.e. institutional units) whose main source of income is independent agricultural activity.’;

| (d) | paragraph 1.09 is replaced by the following:






  ‘1.09. | In order to analyse flows occurring in the process of production and in the use of goods and services, it is necessary to choose units which emphasise relationships of a technico-economic kind. This requirement means that as a rule institutional units must be partitioned into smaller and more homogeneous units with regard to the kind of production. Local kind-of-activity units (local KAUs) are intended to meet this requirement as an operational approach (ESA 2010, 2.147) (*2). |
| --- | --- | --- |

(d)

paragraph 1.09 is replaced by the following:

‘1.09.

(*2)  It should be pointed out that, although the ESA gives preeminence to local KAUs, the unit best suited to analyses of the production process is the unit of homogeneous production (UHP). This unit is used to analyse inputs and outputs, since it corresponds exactly to a type of activity. Institutional units are thus divided into as many UHPs as there are activities (other than ancillary). By grouping these UHPs it is possible to break down the economy into “pure” (homogeneous) branches. A UHP cannot, as a rule, be directly observed. Therefore, the accounts of homogeneous branches cannot be compiled on the basis of groups of UHPs. The ESA describes a method for compiling these accounts. It involves attributing secondary production and the corresponding costs of activity branches to the appropriate homogeneous branches (ESA 2010, 2.153-2.156, 9.52 to 9.63).’;"

| (e) | paragraph 1.10 is replaced by the following:






  ‘1.10. | The local kind-of-activity unit (local KAU) is the part of a KAU which corresponds to a local unit. The local KAU is called an establishment in the 2008 SNA and ISIC Rev.4. A KAU groups all the parts of an institutional unit in its capacity as a producer contributing to the performance of an activity at class level (four digits) of the NACE Rev. 2 (the reference classification for economic activities, cf. 1.55) and corresponds to one or more operational subdivisions of the institutional unit. The institutional unit's information system must be capable of indicating or calculating for each local KAU at least the value of production, intermediate consumption, compensation of employees, the operating surplus and employment and gross fixed capital formation (ESA 2010, 2.148). The local unit is an institutional unit, or part of an institutional unit, producing goods or services situated in a geographically identified place.’; |
| --- | --- | --- |

(e)

paragraph 1.10 is replaced by the following:

‘1.10.

| (f) | paragraph 1.11 is replaced by the following:






  ‘1.11. | Although a local KAU may correspond to an institutional unit or part of an institutional unit in its capacity as a producer, it can never belong to two distinct institutional units. Since, in practice, most institutional units producing goods and services are involved in a number of different activities at once (a principal activity and one or more secondary activities), they can be broken down into the same number of local KAUs, if necessary information is available. Ancillary activities (purchases, sales, marketing, accounting, transport, warehousing, maintenance, etc.; cf. 1.27), however, cannot lead to the creation of a local KAU, unless they are carried out in a separate location, located in a region other than the local KAU they serve (ESA 2010, 3.13).’; |

paragraph 1.11 is replaced by the following:

If an institutional unit producing goods or services contains a principal activity and also one or several secondary activities, it is subdivided into the same number of KAUs, and the secondary activities are classified under different headings from the principal activity. The ancillary activities are not separated from the principal or secondary activities. But KAUs falling within a particular heading of the classification system can produce products outside the homogeneous group on account of secondary activities connected with them which cannot be separately identified from available accounting documents.

  ‘2.010. | In the ESA 2010, production is treated as a continuous process in which goods and services are converted into other goods and services. This process may take place over different periods depending on the products, and the periods may exceed an accounting period. This characterisation of production, combined with the accrual principle, therefore results in the recording of output in the form of work in progress. Thus, according to the ESA 2010 (3.54), the output of agricultural products is recorded as being produced continuously over the entire period of production (and not only when the crops are harvested or animals slaughtered). Growing crops, standing timber and stocks of fish or animals reared for the purposes of food are treated as inventories of work-in-progress during the production process and transformed into inventories of finished products when the process is completed. Output excludes any changes in uncultivated biological resources, e.g. growth of animals, birds, fish living in the wild or uncultivated growth of forests, but it includes catches of animals, birds, fish living in the wild.’; |

| Total | 100 | 108,8 | 101,4 |

If these series are expressed in relation to a fixed reference year (e.g. n), the only way to retain the same n/n-1 volume indices is to chain the indices separately. This gives the following series (base equal to 100 in n):

| B | 300 | 330 | 297,0 |
| Total | 400 | 435 | 405,6 |

405,6

(405,6 = 400 * 101,4/100)

| | As a result, the account is no longer additive. Adding the values at constant prices for A and B gives the following series: | n | n + 1 | n + 2 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A + B | 400 | 435 | 404,1 |

(*1)  European System of National and Regional Accounts — ESA 2010, Luxembourg 2013.’.

(*2)  It should be pointed out that, although the ESA gives preeminence to local KAUs, the unit best suited to analyses of the production process is the unit of homogeneous production (UHP). This unit is used to analyse inputs and outputs, since it corresponds exactly to a type of activity. Institutional units are thus divided into as many UHPs as there are activities (other than ancillary). By grouping these UHPs it is possible to break down the economy into “pure” (homogeneous) branches. A UHP cannot, as a rule, be directly observed. Therefore, the accounts of homogeneous branches cannot be compiled on the basis of groups of UHPs. The ESA describes a method for compiling these accounts. It involves attributing secondary production and the corresponding costs of activity branches to the appropriate homogeneous branches (ESA 2010, 2.153-2.156, 9.52 to 9.63).’;

(*3)  These are small units producing for own consumption, not for selling, carrying out agricultural activities without depending economically on these activities.’;

(*4)  The 2008 SNA (10.94), unlike the ESA 2010 (3.140), considers that consumption of fixed capital should be calculated for livestock.’;

(*5)  They correspond in particular to wages and salaries which employers continue to pay on a provisional basis to their employees in the event of illness, maternity, accidents at the workplace, invalidity or redundancy, in so far as the amounts concerned can be separately identified.’;

(*6)  However, when a grant serves the dual purpose of financing both the amortisation of the debt and the payment of interest on it, and when it is not possible to apportion it between the two elements, the whole of the grant is treated as an investment grant.’;

(*7)  Interest receivable corresponds to “Other accounts receivable” (F.8) in the financial account.’;

(*9)  This does not preclude the possibility that there may be circumstances in which compilers may judge it preferable to eliminate the discrepancies in order to improve the overall consistency of the data.’;’

Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:

A senior Taliban leader as of late 2014, Torek Agha (Torek) has served on the Taliban's ‘Quetta shura’, a regional body that directs Taliban activities in southern and western Afghanistan, and played a role in raising funds from Gulf-based donors.

As of late 2014, Torek was a member of a group responsible for the Taliban leadership's strategic planning and logistics operations and also operated as a key commander and member of the Taliban's military council, and authorized and facilitated Taliban military operations. The Taliban military council is one of three command level councils and is responsible for overseeing Taliban operations and approving appointments of Taliban military leadership.

Over the years, Torek was involved in authorizing the assassination of numerous Afghan Government officials and tribal elders. Additionally, as early as 2012, he was one of four senior Taliban commanders who authorized the use of an unidentified chemical powder to assassinate senior Afghan Government officials.

After being instructed in mid-2011 by a Taliban senior leader to travel to Saudi Arabia during Ramadan to arrange external funding, in 2012 Torek and several other Taliban ‘Quetta shura’ members selected mullahs to travel to Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries to collect financial donations on the Taliban's behalf from both Afghan businessmen and smugglers. As of early 2012, Torek received a donation from an unidentified Arab donor with instructions to pass the money to the Taliban's provincial shadow governor of Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, for assassination operations.

Torek collected approximately USD 4 million from Gulf-based donors for the Taliban in 2010, the majority of which he provided to fellow senior leader and Taliban finance collector Gul Agha Ishakzai (Gul Agha). The amounts and sources of Torek's multiple 2010 Taliban fundraising transfers to Gul Agha were as follows: USD 1 million from associates in Saudi Arabia; USD 2 million from donors in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia; and USD 600 000 from various Arab donors obtained on a fundraising trip to Qatar.

As of late 2009, Torek held USD 2 million from unidentified Qatar and Saudi Arabia donors intended for the Taliban's ‘Quetta shura’ treasurer. The substantial donations Torek collected for the Taliban ‘Quetta shura’ during Ramadan were held in unidentified Pakistani banks and were under the control of the Taliban's head treasurer.

In mid-2006, Torek assigned Taliban fighters to various operational Taliban commanders. He was one of the main links between the Taliban leadership and groups of Arab fighters arriving in Pakistan and Afghanistan to fight the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).’
