THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1705/98 of 28
July 1998 concerning the interruption of certain economic
relations with Angola in order to induce the ‘União Nacional
para a Independência Total de Angola’ (UNITA) to fulfil
its
obligations in the peace process, and repealing Regulation (EC)
No 2229/97 (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation
(EC) No 271/2002 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1705/98 empowers the
Commission to amend the Annexes to the Regulation
on the basis of determinations by either the competent
authorities of the United Nations or the Government of
Unity and National Reconciliation of Angola or in the
case of Annex VIII on the basis of information and
notification supplied by the Member States.

Annex VII
to Regulation (EC) No 1705/98 lists the
names of persons covered by the freeze of funds under
that Regulation. On 6 March 2002 the Angola Sanctions
Committee determined to amend the list of persons and
entities to whom the freeze of funds shall apply and
therefore Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1705/98, as
amended, should be amended accordingly.

Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1705/98 lists the
names and addresses of the competent national authori-
ties. The Government of Germany has informed the
Commission of certain corrections of the address of
German competent authority and therefore Annex VIII
should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Regulation (EC) No 1705/98 should be amended as follows:
— In Annex VII, the following names should be removed:

Baptista, João ‘Zaboba’

publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
