			   	EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
(1)          Council
Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 of 19 February 2004 concerning certain restrictive
measures in respect of Zimbabwe[1]
implements several restrictive measures provided for by Council Decision
2011/101/CFSP of 15 February 2011 concerning restrictive measures against
Zimbabwe[2],
including the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain natural or
legal persons, entities and bodies. 
(2)          The Council has decided to extend
the suspension of the travel ban and asset freeze measures applying to the
majority of the individuals and entities set out in Annex I to Decision
2011/101/CFSP, and to apply this suspension to eight more persons. The
suspension will not be applied to the remaining two persons and one entity.
(3)          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. 
(4)          It is
necessary to update Council Regulation (EU) No 314/2004 accordingly.

314/2004 concerning certain restrictive measures 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,

High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of
the European Commission,
Whereas:

renew the suspension of the travel ban and asset freeze measures applying to

(3)       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.
(4)       Regulation (EC) No
314/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly, notably by introducing a new
Annex IV which includes eight new individuals suspended from the prohibitions,
