COUNCIL DECISION 2010/656/CFSP

of 29 October 2010

renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire







THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof, Whereas: (1) On 13 December 2004, the Council adopted Common Position 2004/852/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire ( 1 ) in order to implement the measures imposed against Côte d’Ivoire by United Nations Security Council Resolution (hereinafter ‘UNSCR’) 1572 (2004). (2) On 23 January 2006, the Council adopted Common Position 2006/30/CFSP ( 2 ) renewing the restrictive measures imposed against Côte d’Ivoire for a further period of 12 months and supplementing them with the restrictive measures imposed by point 6 of UNSCR 1643 (2005). (3) Following the renewal of the restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire by UNSCR 1842 (2008), on 18 November 2008, the Council adopted Common Position 2008/873/CFSP ( 3 ) further renewing the restrictive measures imposed against Côte d’Ivoire, with effect from 1 November 2008. (4) On 15 October 2010, the United Nations Security Council adopted UNSCR 1946 (2010) which renewed the measures imposed against Côte d’Ivoire by UNSCR 1572 (2004) and point 6 of UNSCR 1643 (2005) until 30 April 2011 and which amended the restrictive measures on arms. (5) The restrictive measures imposed against Côte d’Ivoire should therefore be renewed. In addition to the exemptions to the arms embargo provided for in UNSCR 1946 (2010), it is appropriate to amend the restrictive measures in order to exempt other equipment included autonomously by the Union.
