Council Common Position 2004/293/CFSP

of 30 March 2004

renewing measures in support of the effective implementation of the mandate of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 15 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 16 April 2003, the Council adopted Common Position 2003/280/CFSP in support of the effective implementation of the mandate of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)(1).

(2) On 27 June 2003, the Council adopted Council Decision 2003/484/CFSP(2) implementing Common Position 2003/280/CFSP by replacing the list of persons set out in the Annex to the Common Position by the list set out in the Annex to that Decision.

(3) Common Position 2003/280/CFSP expires on 15 April 2004.

(4) Persons indicted by the ICTY are still at large, and there is evidence that they are being assisted in their efforts to continue to evade justice.

(5) Against this background, the Council considers it necessary to renew Common Position 2003/280/CFSP for a further 12 months and to update the list of names to be subject to this Common Position,

HAS ADOPTED THIS COMMON POSITION:

Article 1

1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into, or transit through, their territories of the persons listed in the Annex, who are engaged in activities which help persons at large continue to evade justice for crimes for which the ICTY has indicted them or are otherwise acting in a manner which could obstruct the ICTY's effective implementation of its mandate.

2. Paragraph 1 will not oblige a Member State to refuse its own nationals entry into its territory.

3. Paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to the cases where a Member State is bound by an obligation of international law, namely:

(a) as a host country of an international intergovernmental organisation;

(b) as a host country to an international conference convened by, or under the auspices of, the United Nations; or

(c) under a multilateral agreement conferring privileges and immunities.

The Council shall be duly informed in each of these cases.

4. Paragraph 3 shall be considered as applying also in cases where a Member State is host country of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

5. Member States may grant exemptions from the measures imposed in paragraph 1 where travel is justified on the grounds of urgent humanitarian need, or on grounds of attending intergovernmental meetings, including those promoted by the European Union, where a political dialogue is conducted that directly assists the ICTY in the implementation of its mandate.

6. A Member State wishing to grant exemptions referred to in paragraph 5 shall notify the Council in writing. The exemption will be deemed to be granted unless one or more of the Council Members raises an objection in writing within 48 hours of receiving notification of the proposed exemption. In the event that one or more of the Council members raises an objection, the Council, acting by a qualified majority, may decide to grant the proposed exemption.

7. In cases where pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 6, a Member State authorises the entry into, or transit through, its territory of persons listed in the Annex, the authorisation shall be limited to the purpose for which it is given and to the persons concerned thereby.

Article 2

The Council, acting upon a proposal by a Member State or the Commission, shall adopt modifications to the list contained in Annex as required.

Article 3

In order to maximise the impact of the abovementioned measures, the European Union shall encourage third States to adopt restrictive measures similar to those contained in this Common Position.

Article 4

This Common Position shall take effect on the date of its adoption. It shall apply for a 12-month period. It shall be kept under constant review. It shall be renewed, or amended as appropriate, if the Council deems that its objectives have not been met.

Article 5

This Common Position shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Done at Brussels, 30 March 2004.
