EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  314/2004  of  19  February  2004  concerning  certain 
restrictive measures in respect of Zimbabwe1 implements several restrictive measures 
provided  for  by  Council  Decision  2011/101/CFSP  of  15  February  2011  concerning 
restrictive  measures  against  Zimbabwe2,  including  the  freezing  of  funds  and 
economic resources of certain natural or legal persons, entities and bodies.  

On 23 July 2012 and 18 February 2013, the Council concluded that a peaceful and 
credible  constitutional  referendum  in  Zimbabwe  would  represent  an  important 
milestone  in  the  preparation  of  democratic  elections  justifying  an  immediate 
suspension of the majority of all remaining EU targeted restrictive measures against 
individuals and entities. 

In  view  of  the  outcome  of  the  Zimbabwean  constitutional  referendum  of  16  March 
2013 the Council has decided to suspend the travel ban and asset freeze applying to 
the  majority  of  the  individuals  and  entities  set  out  in  Annex  I  to  Decision 
2011/101/CFSP. The suspension will not be applied to ten persons and two entities, 
given  that  they  play  a  key  role  in  the  operation  of  the  security  sector  and  have  a 
heightened responsibility for ensuring peaceful and democratic elections which are to 
be held in the near future. 

It is necessary to update Council Regulation (EU) No 314/2004 accordingly. 

Some  of  those  measures  are  implemented  at  the  level  of  the  Union  and  therefore 
further action by the Union is needed in order to implement these measures.

Joint Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION

in respect of Zimbabwe 

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

Whereas:

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  314/2004  of  19  February  2004  concerning  certain 
restrictive  measures  in  respect  of  Zimbabwe3  implements  several  measures  provided 
for  by  Council  Decision  2011/101/CFSP  of  15  February  2011  concerning  restrictive 
measures against Zimbabwe4, including the freezing of funds and economic resources 
of certain natural or legal persons, entities and bodies.  

On  23  July  2012  and  18  February  2013,  the  Council  concluded  that  a  peaceful  and 
credible  constitutional  referendum  in  Zimbabwe  would  represent  an  important 
milestone  in  the  preparation  of  democratic  elections  justifying  an  immediate 
suspension  of  the  majority  of  all  remaining  EU  targeted  restrictive  measures  against 
individuals and entities. 

In  view  of  the  outcome  of  the  Zimbabwean  constitutional  referendum  of  16  March 
2013  the  Council  has  decided  to  suspend  the  travel  ban  and  asset  freeze  applying  to 
the  majority  of  the  individuals  and  entities  set  out  in  Annex  I  to  Decision 
2011/101/CFSP. 

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

Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly. 

In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this 
Regulation must enter into force on the day following that of its publication,
