Whereas:

(1)Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 lists persons, entities and bodies on the basis of determinations made by the Sanctions                              Committee established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718 (2006) concerning the Democratic People's                              Republic of Korea (the Sanctions Committee) or the UN Security Council (UNSC) in accordance with paragraph 8(d) of UNSC Resolution                              1718(2006) covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.

(2)On 28 July 2014, the Sanctions Committee approved the addition of a new entity to its consolidated list of individuals and                              entities subject to restrictive measures. Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 lists persons, entities and bodies who have                              been designated by the Council in accordance with Article 15(1)(a) of Council Decision 2013/183/CFSP concerning restrictive                              measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(2) in accordance with determinations by the Sanctions Committee or the UNSC.

(3)On 30 July 2014, the Sanctions Committee updated the identifying information relating to a number of individuals and entities                              subject to restrictive measures.

Annex IV of the Regulation should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 lists persons, entities and bodies not listed in Annex IV who, in accordance with Article                              15(1)(b) of Council Decision 2013/183/CFSP have been designated by the Council. On 9 October 2014, the Council decided to                              delete a person listed in Annex V. Annex V should therefore be amended.
