of 31 May 2012
         
concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities and bodies threatening the peace, security or stability of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau and repealing Decision 2012/237/CFSP


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


On 3 May 2012, the Council adopted Decision 2012/237/CFSP concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities and bodies threatening the peace, security or stability of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau (1).












(2)


On 18 May 2012, the United Nations Security Council adopted a Resolution 2048 (2012), which imposed a travel ban on persons seeking to prevent the restoration of the constitutional order or taking action that undermines stability in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, in particular those who played a leading role in the coup d’état of 12 April 2012 and who aim, through their actions, at undermining the rule of law, curtailing the primacy of civilian power and furthering impunity and instability in the country.












(3)


In view of the gravity of the situation in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, additional persons should be included in the lists of persons and entities subject to the restrictive measures provided for in Decision 2012/237/CFSP.












(4)


Decision 2012/237/CFSP should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Decision,

2.   Paragraph 1 shall not oblige a Member State to refuse its own nationals entry into its territory.


3.   Paragraph 1(a) shall not apply where the Committee determines that:






(a)


travel is justified on the grounds of humanitarian need, including religious obligation; or










(b)


an exemption would further the objectives of peace and national reconciliation in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau and stability in the region.






4.   Paragraph 1(a) shall not apply where entry or transit is necessary for the fulfilment of a judicial proceeding.


5.   Paragraph 1(b) shall be without prejudice to the cases where a Member State is bound by an obligation of international law, namely:






(a)


as a host country of an international intergovernmental organisation;










(b)


as a host country to an international conference convened by, or under the auspices of, the United Nations;










(c)

7.   The Council shall be duly informed in all cases where a Member State grants an exemption pursuant to paragraph 5 or 6.


8.   Member States may grant exemptions from the measures imposed under paragraph 1(b) where travel is justified on the grounds of urgent humanitarian need, or on grounds of attending intergovernmental meetings, including those promoted by the Union, or hosted by a Member State holding the Chairmanship in office of the OSCE, where a political dialogue is conducted that directly promotes democracy, human rights and the rule of law in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau.


9.   A Member State wishing to grant exemptions referred to in paragraph 8 shall notify the Council in writing. The exemption shall be deemed to be granted unless one or more of the Council members raise an objection in writing within two working days of receiving notification of the proposed exemption.

4.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the competent authority of a Member State may authorise the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources, if the following conditions are met:






(a)


the funds or economic resources in question are the subject of a judicial, administrative or arbitral lien established prior to the date on which the natural or legal person, entity or body referred to in paragraph 1 was included in Annex III or of a judicial, administrative or arbitral judgment rendered prior to that date;










(b)


the funds and economic resources will be used exclusively to satisfy claims secured by such a lien or recognised as valid in such a judgment, within the limits set by applicable laws and regulations governing the rights of persons having such claims;










(c)


the lien or judgment is not for the benefit of a natural or legal person, entity or body listed in Annex III;

5.   Paragraph 2 shall not apply to the addition to frozen accounts of:






(a)


interest or other earnings on those accounts; or

provided that any such interest, other earnings and payments continue to be subject to paragraph 1.
