amending Common Position 1999/261/CFSP concerning Libya

(1999/611/CFSP)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

HAS ADOPTED THIS COMMON POSITION:

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and, in par-

Whereas:

(2)

(3)

(4)

On 16 April 1999 the Council adopted Common Posi-
tion 1999/261/CFSP (1) suspending the restrictive meas-
ures taken against Libya on the basis of United Nations
Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) 748(1992) and
883(1993) and confirming the measures originally
decided by the Member States on 27 January and 14
April 1986 against Libya's support for terrorism;

Article 3 of that Common Position provided that it
would be reviewed in the light of the report to be
submitted by the UN Secretary-General on Libya's
compliance with the remaining provisions of UNSCRs
731(1992) and 748(1992),
in accordance with para-
graph 16 of UNSCR 883(1993);

On 30 June 1999 the UN Secretary-General submitted
the said report which, in the part referring to renuncia-
tion of terrorism, cited several elements suggesting that
recent acts by the Libyan authorities were indicative of
the Libyan Government's renunciation of terrorism;

The European Union therefore deems it appropriate to
lift the remaining restrictive measures against Libya with
the exception of the arms embargo,

Article 1

Common Position 1999/261/CFSP is hereby amended as
follows:

(a) in Article 2, subparagraphs (b),(c) and (d) of paragraph 1

are deleted;

(b) Article 3 shall be replaced by the following:

This Common Position will be reviewed within 6 months
