Whereas:







(1)


Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 gives effect to measures provided for in Council Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 (2).












(2)


On 2 March 2016, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution (UNSCR) 2270 (2016) providing for new measures against North Korea. In accordance with that Resolution, on 4 April 2016 the Sanctions Committee established pursuant to UNSCR 1718 (2006) published a list of additional goods to which prohibitions on the transfer, procurement and provision of technical assistance apply (the ‘sensitive goods’ list).












(3)


Following the adoption of Resolution (UNSCR) 2270 (2016), on 4 August 2016 the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2016/1341 (3). Council Regulation (EU) 2016/1333 (4) amended Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 accordingly, adding Annex Ig.












(4)


This proposal identifies the sensitive goods to be included in Annex Ig of Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 and allocates the reference numbers taken from the Combined Nomenclature as set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5). Annex Ig of Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
