Notice for the attention of the persons, groups and entities on the list provided for in Article 2(3)
of Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain
persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism

(2007/C 90/01)

The following information is brought to the attention of the persons, groups and entities listed in Council Decision
2006/379/EC (1) and Council Decision 2006/1008/EC (2).

The Council of the European Union has determined that the reasons for including the persons, groups and
entities that appear on the above-mentioned lists of persons, groups and entities subject to the restrictive
measures provided for under Council Regulation (EC) 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001, on specific restric-
tive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism (3), are still
valid. Consequently, the Council intends to maintain those persons, groups and entities on the list.

Council Regulation (EC) 2580/2001 provides for a freezing of all funds, other financial assets and economic
resources belonging to the persons, groups and entities concerned and that no funds, other financial assets
and economic resources may be made available to them, whether directly or indirectly.

The attention of the persons, groups and entities concerned is drawn to the possibility of making an applica-
tion to the competent authorities of the relevant Member State(s) as listed in the Annex to the Regulation in
order to obtain an authorisation to use frozen funds for basic needs or specific payments (cfr Article 5 of
the Regulation). An updated list of competent authorities is available on the web at the following address:

http://ec.europa.eu/comm/external_relations/cfsp/sanctions/measures.htm

The persons, groups and entities concerned may submit a request to obtain the Council's statement of
reasons for maintaining them on the above-mentioned lists (unless the statement of reasons has already
been communicated to them). In this respect, the attention of the persons, groups and entities concerned is
drawn to the forthcoming review by the Council of the list, according to Article 1(6) of Common Position
2001/931/CFSP of the Council (4).

The persons, groups and entities concerned may also submit a request to the Council, together with
supporting documentation, that the decision to include them on the above-mentioned lists should be recon-
sidered. Any such request should be submitted within one month from the date of publication of this
notice.

Any such request should be sent to the following address: Council of the European Union (Attn: UNSCR
1373 designations), Rue de la Loi 175, B-1048 Brussels.
