Côte d'Ivoire by the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1572(2004). In accordance
with that Resolution, these measures applied until 15 December 2005.

In the light of the recent developments in Côte d'Ivoire, the UN Security Council on 15 December

menting the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds (2),

Council Resolution.

Côte d'Ivoire to the Community, whether or not such diamonds originated in Côte d'Ivoire, shall be
prohibited in accordance with UNSCR 1643(2005).

Article 2

This Common Position shall take effect on the date of its adoption.

COUNCIL COMMON POSITION 2006/29/CFSP

of 23 January 2006

repealing Common Position 96/184/CFSP concerning arms exports to the former Yugoslavia

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 15 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

On 26 February 1996 the Council adopted Common Position 96/184/CFSP (1) concerning arms
exports to the former Yugoslavia, which has been amended several times. Consequently, the arms
embargo imposed in 1996 applies only to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina has now
adopted, and is implementing, legislation on exports, imports and transit of arms which meets the
appropriate EU standards, justify a lifting of the restrictive measures taken against that State pursuant
to Common Position 96/184/CFSP.

(3)

Furthermore, on 21 November 2005, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations
with Bosnia and Herzegovina on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement.

(4)

Common Position 96/184/CFSP should therefore be repealed, on the understanding that the Member
States rigorously apply the EU Code of Conduct on arms exports adopted on 8 June 1998, and, as
regards exports to the former Yugoslavia, take into account the objectives of the EU policy in the
region, which is aimed fundamentally at pacification and stabilisation in the area, including the need
for arms control, reduction of arms to the lowest possible level and confidence-building measures,

HAS ADOPTED THIS COMMON POSITION:

Common Position 96/184/CFSP shall be repealed.
