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

(2008/C 109/09)

The following information is brought to the attention of the Hofstadgroep listed in Council Decision
2007/868/EC.

The Council of the European Union has determined that the reasons for including the above group 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 restrictive measures directed against
certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism, are still valid. Consequently, the Council
intends to maintain this group on the list.

The attention of the group concerned is drawn to the fact that since the adoption of Decision 2007/868/EC,
the Council has been provided with new information relevant to this listing. Having considered this new
information, the Council intends to maintain the group concerned on the above mentioned list. Therefore,
the Council has amended the statement of reasons accordingly.

The group concerned may submit a request to obtain the Council's revised statement of reasons for
including and maintaining it on the above-mentioned lists to the following address:

Council of the European Union
(Attn: CP 931 designations)
Rue de la Loi 175
B-1048 Brussels

The group concerned may submit at any time a request to the Council, together with any supporting docu-
mentation, that the decision to include and maintain it on the list should be reconsidered, to the address
provided above. Such request will be considered when it is received. In this respect, the attention of the
group is drawn to the regular review by the Council of the list according to Article 1(6) of Common Posi-
tion 2001/931/CFSP. In order for the request to be considered at the next review, it should be submitted
within one month from the date of publication of this notice.

Finally, the attention of the group concerned is drawn to the possibility of making an application 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 essential needs or specific payments in accordance with
Article 5(2) of that Regulation. An updated list of competent authorities is available on the web at the
following address:
