Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

the flight ban and freeze of funds and other financial resources in respect of the Taliban
of Afghanistan, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 337/2000

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

By means of Resolution 1333 (2000) of 19 December 2000, the UN Security Council
decided to strengthen the freezing of funds and the flight ban applied against the
Taliban further to Resolution 1267 (1999). That Resolution was implemented by
means of Council Regulation (EC) No 337/2000.

The Security Council also decided that a number of additional measures should be
applied against the Taliban, in particular a prohibition to export arms and related
materiel, a prohibition to export acetic anhydride, a prohibition to provide technical
advice and training on military activities, and the forced closure of Taliban and Ariana
Afghan Airlines offices.

The measures should come into force one month after the adoption of that Resolution.

The attached proposal for a Regulation is intended to implement in the Community
legal order the strengthening of the existing freezing of funds and the flight ban, as
well as those additional measures for which the Community is competent. To that end,
the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 337/2000 need to be amended and a
consolidated text should be published. Since a consolidated text should be published,
the future Regulation will thus repeal Council Regulation (EC) No 337/2000.

Independent from Resolution 1333 (2000), the Taliban Sanctions Committee made a
designation of funds which have to be frozen pursuant to Resolution 1267 (1999). By
means of this decision, made public on 20 November 2000, the Committee ordered
that the funds and financial resources of De Afghanistan Momtaz Bank, when that
bank would have been established, should be frozen. The proposal also includes this
amendment.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

prohibiting the exportation of certain goods and services to Afghanistan, strengthening
the flight ban and freeze of funds and other financial resources in respect of the Taliban
of Afghanistan, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 337/2000

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles
60 and 301 thereof,

Having regard to Council Common Position 2001/.../CFSP 1 of .. January 2001 ....,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission 2,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

On 19 December 2000, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1333
(2000) demanding, inter alia, that the Taliban comply with Resolution 1267 (1999), in
particular by ceasing to provide sanctuary and training for international terrorists and
their organisations.

The Security Council decided, inter alia, that the flight ban and the freezing of funds,
which were imposed pursuant to its Resolution 1267 (1999), should be strengthened
and that a number of additional measures should be applied against the Taliban, in
particular a prohibition to export certain goods, a prohibition to provide certain
technical advice and training, and the forced closure of Taliban and Ariana Afghan
Airlines offices.

These measures fall under the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view
to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to
implement the relevant decisions of the Security Council as far as the territory of the
Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the
Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the
Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.

In order to create maximum legal certainty within the Community, the names and
other relevant data with regard to persons, entities and bodies whose funds should be
frozen further to a designation by the UN authorities, and the list of organisations and
governmental relief agencies that are allowed to execute humanitarian flights to
Afghanistan, should be made publicly known and a procedure should be established
within the Community to amend these lists.

(9)

The competent authorities of the Member States should, where necessary, be
empowered to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation on the
freezing of funds and financial resources.

UN Security Council Resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1333 (2000) provide that the
Taliban Sanctions Committee may grant exemptions to the freezing of funds, to the
flight ban and to the prohibitions to export certain goods and services. Therefore,
provision needs to made to render such exemptions applicable throughout
the
Community.

The prohibitions to export certain goods and services are meant to prevent exports to
those parts of Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban. Therefore, a procedure needs to
be established to determine those parts of Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban.

For reasons of expediency, the Commission should be empowered to supplement
and/or amend Annexes I, II, IV, V and VI to this Regulation on the basis of pertinent
the Taliban Sanctions
notification or information by the UN Security Council,
Committee and the Member States, as appropriate.

The Commission and the Member States should inform each other of the measures
taken under this Regulation and of other relevant information at their disposal in
connection with this Regulation, and co-operate with the Taliban Sanctions
Committee, in particular by supplying information to it.

(10) Violations of the provisions of this Regulation should be penalised and Member States
should impose appropriate penalties to that end. It
is, moreover, desirable that
sanctions for violations of the provisions of this Regulation can be imposed as of the
date of entry into force of this Regulation and that, if there is prima facie evidence,
Member States institute proceedings against any persons, entities or bodies under their
jurisdiction that have violated any of these provisions.

(11)

For reasons of transparency and simplicity, the interruption or reduction of economic
relations with Afghanistan should be governed by one legal instrument. Therefore, the
provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 337/2000 3 of 14 February 2000 concerning
a flight ban and a freeze of funds and other financial resources in respect of the
Taliban of Afghanistan, should be incorporated in this Regulation, and that Regulation
should be repealed,
