# amending Decision 2010/800/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (repealed)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2010/800/CFSP of 22 December 2010 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic                           People's Republic of Korea(1), and in particular Articles 10(1) and 12(3) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)On 22 December 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/800/CFSP.

(2)On 10 December 2012, the Council expressed its deep concern about the intent of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea                              (the "DPRK") to launch a "working satellite", as such a launch makes use of ballistic missile technology, representing another                              clear violation of the DPRK's international obligations as set out in particular under United Nations Security Council (UNSC)                              Resolution (UNSCR) 1695 (2006), UNSCR 1718 (2006) and UNSCR 1874 (2009), and directly contravening the international community's                              unified call not to conduct such launches.

(3)On 22 January 2013, the UNSC adopted UNSCR 2087 (2013), condemning the DPRK's launch of 12 December 2012, which used ballistic                              missile technology and was in violation of UNSCR 1718 (2006) and UNSCR 1874 (2009).

(4)On 12 February 2013, the DPRK carried out a nuclear test, in violation of its international obligations under UNSCR 1718 (2006),                              UNSCR 1874 (2009) and UNSCR 2087 (2013) and representing a serious threat to regional and international peace and security.

(5)Paragraph 5(a) of UNSCR 2087 (2013) provides that additional persons and entities are to be subject to restrictive measures.

(6)In addition, paragraph 5(b) of UNSCR 2087 (2013) establishes that the prohibition to supply, sell or transfer certain items,                              materials, equipment, goods and technology in accordance with paragraph 8(a)(ii) of UNSCR 1718 (2006) is also to apply to                              the items specified in paragraph 5(b) of UNSCR 2087 (2013).

(7)Paragraph 8 of UNSCR 2087 (2013) clarifies certain methods for States to dispose of items seized consistent with provisions                              of UNSCR 1718 (2006) and UNSCR 1874 (2009) and in accordance with paragraph 14 of UNSCR 1874 (2009).

(8)Paragraph 12 of UNSCR 2087 (2013) also calls on States to exercise vigilance and restraint regarding the entry into or transit                              through their territories of individuals working on behalf or at the direction of designated individuals or entities.

(9)In line with paragraph 13 of UNSCR 2087 (2013), it is necessary to establish that no claims in connection with the performance                              of any contract or transaction affected by measures decided on pursuant to relevant UNSC resolutions or measures of the Union                              or any Member State in accordance with relevant decision of the UNSC or covered by this Decision, may be granted to designated                              persons or entities or any other person or entity in the DPRK.

(10)In accordance with the Council's conclusions on the DPRK of 10 December 2012, it is appropriate to adopt additional restrictive                              measures.

(11)An additional criterion for autonomous designation by the Union of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures should                              be included in Decision 2010/800/CFSP.

(12)The sale, supply or transfer to the DPRK of certain other goods relevant to the DPRK's weapons of mass destruction-related                              programmes, in particular its ballistic-missile sector, should be prohibited, especially certain types of aluminium.

(13)Furthermore, it should be clarified that where this decision provides for a prohibition on financial services, this includes                              the provision of insurance and re-insurance services.

(14)Moreover, the sale, purchase, transportation or brokering of gold, precious metals and diamonds to, from or for the Government                              of the DPRK should be prohibited.

(15)In addition, the delivery of newly printed or minted or unissued DPRK denominated banknotes and coinage to or for the benefit                              of the Central Bank of the DPRK should be prohibited.

(16)The sale or purchase of DPRK public or public-guaranteed bonds should be prohibited.

(17)Moreover, the opening of new branches, subsidiaries, or representative offices of DPRK banks in the territories of Member                              States, and the establishment of new joint ventures, or the taking of an ownership interest by the DPRK banks, including the                              Central Bank of DPRK, with banks within the jurisdiction of Member States, should be prohibited. Furthermore, Member States                              should take the appropriate measures to prohibit financial institutions within their territories or under their jurisdiction                              from opening representatives offices or subsidiaries in the DPRK.

(18)Following a decision by the UNSC Committee established pursuant to UNSCR 1718 (2006), six entities should be removed from                              the lists set out in Annexes II and III to Decision 2010/800/CFSP and should be added to the list set out in Annex I to that                              Decision. It is also necessary to amend the entries for those entities.

(19)Furthermore, in accordance with Article 12(3) of Decision 2010/800/CFSP, the Council has carried out a complete review of                              the list of other persons and entities set out in Annexes II and III to that Decision and has concluded that those persons                              and entities should continue to be subject to the appropriate restrictive measures provided for in that Decision.

(20)Decision 2010/800/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,
