of 27 May 2013

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 and Article 207(3) in conjunction with Article 218(5) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1) On 11 March 2013, the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate the Arms Trade Treaty in the framework of the United Nations on those matters coming under the exclusive competence of the Union.

(2) On 2 April 2013, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the text of the Arms Trade Treaty. The General Assembly also requested the Secretary-General, as depositary of the Treaty, to open it for signature on 3 June 2013 and called upon all States to consider signing and, thereafter, according to their respective constitutional processes, becoming parties to the Treaty at the earliest possible date.

(3) The object of the Treaty is to establish the highest possible common international standards for regulating or improving the regulation of the international trade in conventional arms, to prevent and eradicate the illicit trade in conventional arms and prevent their diversion. Member States expressed their satisfaction with the outcome of the negotiations and their willingness to urgently proceed to the signature of the Treaty.

(4) Some of the provisions of the Treaty concern matters that fall under the exclusive competence of the Union because they are within the scope of the Common Commercial Policy or affect the Internal Market rules for the transfer of conventional arms and explosives.

(5) The European Union cannot sign the Treaty, as only States can be parties thereto.

(6) Therefore, in accordance with Article 2(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, with respect to those matters falling under the exclusive competence of the Union, the Council should authorise Member States to sign the Treaty in the interests of the Union,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

With respect to those matters falling under the exclusive competence of the Union, Member States are hereby authorised to sign the Arms Trade Treaty in the interests of the Union.

Surname, first name(s): ELHASSAN, Gaffar Mohammed (alias Gaffar Mohmed ELHASSAN) Date of birth:24 June 1952. Address: Resides in El Waha, Omdurman, Sudan. Identification no : Ex-serviceman’s identification card no: 4302. Other information: (a) Major-General and Commander of the Western Military Region for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). (b) Retired from the Sudanese Army. Date of UN designation: 25 April 2006 Additional information from the narrative summary of grounds for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee: The Panel of Experts report that Major-General Gaffar Mohammed ELHASSAN stated to them that he had direct operational command (primarily tactical command) of all elements of the SAF in Darfur while he was in command of the Western Military Region. ELHASSAN held this position as Western Military Area Commander from November 2004 (approx.) – early 2006. The Panel’s information is that ELHASSAN was responsible for violations of paragraph 7 of SCR 1591 as by virtue of this position he requested (from Khartoum) and authorized (since 29 March 2005) the transfer of military equipment into Darfur without the prior approval of the 1591 Committee. ELHASSAN himself admitted to the Panel of Experts that aircraft, aircraft engines and other military equipment had been brought into Darfur from other parts of Sudan between 29 March 2005 and December 2005. For example he informed the Panel that 2 Mi-24 attack helicopters were brought unauthorized into Darfur between 18 and 21 September 2005. There are also reasonable grounds to believe that ELHASSAN was directly responsible, as Western Military Area Commander, for authorizing offensive military flights in the area around Abu Hamra, 23-24 July 2005 and in the Jebel Moon area of Western Darfur, on 19 November 2005. Mi-24 attack helicopters were involved in both operations and reportedly opened fire on both occasions. The Panel of Experts report that ELHASSAN indicated to the Panel that he himself approved requests for air support and other air operations in his capacity as Western Military Area Commander. (See Panel of Experts report, S/2006/65, paragraphs 266-269.) Through such actions Major-General Gaffar Mohammed ELHASSAN has breached relevant provisions of SCR 1591 and therefore meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.
