         Pleas in law and main arguments
   In support of his application, the applicant first of all submits that Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism (OJ 2001 L 344, p. 70) is not applicable to him inasmuch as there is no connection whatsoever between the common foreign and security policy and the applicant.
   Second, the applicant submits that Regulation No 2580/2001 is not applicable to him inasmuch as he is not committing, or attempting to commit, participating in or facilitating the commission of any act of terrorism.
   In conclusion, the applicant contends that the contested decision is at variance with the principle of proportionality, is inadequately reasoned and is contrary to his fundamental rights, in particular the right to undisturbed enjoyment of his property and the right to respect for his private life.
