(3) 

Council  Decision  2011/[…]/CFSP  of  […]  provides  for  the  adoption  of  restrictive 
measures  in  view  of  the  situation  in  Libya  in  order  to  comply  with  UN  Security 
Council  Resolution  1970  (2011)  and  to  provide  for  EU  autonomous  accompanying 
measures in consideration of the seriousness of the situation in Libya.  

These  measures  consist  of  an  arms  embargo,  a  ban  on  exports  of  internal  repression 
equipment,  as  well  as  restrictions  on  the  admission  and  the  freezing  of  funds  and 
economic  resources  of  persons  and  entities  involved  in  serious  human  rights  abuses 
against  persons  in  Libya,  including  by  being  involved  in  attacks,  in  violation  of 
international law, on civilian populations and facilities.  

The  High  Representative  of  the  EU  for  Foreign  Affairs  and  Security  Policy  and  the 
Commission propose to give effect to these measures by means of a Regulation based 
on Article 215 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

Joint proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  on  the  Functioning  of  the  European  Union,  and  in  particular 
Article 215 thereof,  

Having regard to Council Decision 2011/[…]/CFSP of […] concerning restrictive measures in 
view of the situation in Libya, 

Having  regard  to  the  joint  proposal  from  the  High  Representative  of  the  Union  for  Foreign 
Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission, 

After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

(5) 

In accordance with UN Council Security Resolution 1970 (2011) of 26 February 2011, 
Council  Decision  2011/[…]/CFSP  of  […]  provides  for  an  arms  embargo,  a  ban  on 
internal repression equipment, as well as restrictions on the admission and the freezing 
of  funds  and  economic  resources  of  certain  persons  and  entities  involved  in  serious 
human rights abuses against persons in Libya, including by being involved in attacks, 
in violation of international law, on civilian populations and facilities. These natural or 
legal persons, entities and bodies are listed in the Annexes to the Decision. 

Some of these measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the 
European  Union  and,  therefore,  notably  with  a  view  to  ensuring  their  uniform 
application by economic operators in all Member States, regulatory action at the level 
of the Union is necessary in order to implement them. 

This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised 
in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and notably 
the  right  to  an  effective  remedy  and  to  a  fair  trial  and  the  right  to  the  protection  of 
personal data. This Regulation should be applied in accordance with those rights.  

Article  291(2)  TFEU  provides  that,  where  uniform  conditions  for  implementing 
legally  binding  Union  acts  such  as  Regulations  based  on  Article  215  TFEU  are 
needed, those acts shall confer implementing powers on the Commission. 

For  the  implementation  of  this  Regulation,  and  in  order  to  create  maximum  legal 
certainty within the Union, the names and other relevant data concerning natural and 
legal persons, entities and bodies whose funds and economic resources must be frozen 

EN

   EN 

in accordance with this Regulation, must be made public. Any processing of personal 
data  should  respect  Regulation  (EC)  No  45/2001  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of 
the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the 
processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free 
movement  of  such  data1  and  Directive  95/46/EC  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of 
the  Council  of  24  October  1995  on  the  protection  of  individuals  with  regard  to  the 
processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data2.

Regulation must enter into force immediately,
