Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 747/2014 of 10 July 2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Sudan and repealing Regulations (EC) No 131/2004 and (EC) No 1184/2005 (1), and in particular Article 15(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 10 July 2014, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 747/2014.

(2) On 17 October 2017, the United Nations Security Council Committee established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1591 (2005) updated the information relating to one person subject to restrictive measures.

(3) Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 747/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 747/2014 is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 25 October 2017. For the Council The President M. MAASIKAS

(1) OJ L 203, 11.7.2014, p. 1.
Example illustrating paragraph 26(d) Identification of a deductible temporary difference at the end of Year 2: Entity A purchases for CU 1 000, at the beginning of Year 1, a debt instrument with a nominal value of CU 1 000 payable on maturity in 5 years with an interest rate of 2 % payable at the end of each year. The effective interest rate is 2 %. The debt instrument is measured at fair value. At the end of Year 2, the fair value of the debt instrument has decreased to CU 918 as a result of an increase in market interest rates to 5 %. It is probable that Entity A will collect all the contractual cash flows if it continues to hold the debt instrument. Any gains (losses) on the debt instrument are taxable (deductible) only when realised. The gains (losses) arising on the sale or maturity of the debt instrument are calculated for tax purposes as the difference between the amount collected and the original cost of the debt instrument. Accordingly, the tax base of the debt instrument is its original cost. The difference between the carrying amount of the debt instrument in Entity A's statement of financial position of CU 918 and its tax base of CU 1 000 gives rise to a deductible temporary difference of CU 82 at the end of Year 2 (see paragraphs 20 and 26(d)), irrespective of whether Entity A expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use, ie by holding it and collecting contractual cash flows, or a combination of both. This is because deductible temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base that will result in amounts that are deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods, when the carrying amount of the asset or liability is recovered or settled (see paragraph 5). Entity A obtains a deduction equivalent to the tax base of the asset of CU 1 000 in determining taxable profit (tax loss) either on sale or on maturity.
