(4) Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to give effect to them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States. (5) This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and notably the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial and the right to the protection of personal data. This Regulation should be applied in accordance with those rights. (6) The power to amend the list in Annexes I and II to this Regulation should be exercised by the Council, in view of the specific threat to international peace and security in the region posed by the situation in South Sudan and in order to ensure consistency with the process for amending and reviewing the Annexes to Decision (CFSP) 2015/740. (7) For the implementation of this Regulation, and in order to ensure maximum legal certainty within the Union, the names and other relevant data concerning natural and legal persons, entities and bodies whose funds and economic resources must be frozen in accordance with this Regulation, must be made public. Any processing of personal data should comply with Directive 95/46/ECof the European Parliament and of the Council ( 4 ) and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 5 ).
