COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2967/93 of 25 October 1993 prohibiting the supply of certain goods to Unita
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Whereas the United Nations Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, adopted resolution 864 (1993) on 15 September 1993 concerning the measures all States have to take with regard to trade with Angola in order to  obtain compliance by Unita with previous demands made by the Council and to implement the 'Acordos de Paz';
Whereas the Security Council has also called upon the United Nations Member States to apply these measures notwithstanding the existence of any rights or obligations conferred or imposed by any international agreement signed, any contract entered into  or any licence or permit granted before the date of adoption of the said resolution; whereas, therefore, the fourth ACP-EEC Convention signed in LomĂŠ on 15 December 1989, to which the Community and Angola are parties, does not pose an obstacle to the  application of the said Security Council measures;
Whereas the Community and its Member States, meeting within the framework of political cooperation, have expressed their strong support for these measures;
Whereas, under these conditions, it is appropriate for the Community to carry out the said Security Council resolution in its field of trade;
Whereas, pursuant to the said resolution, the measures decided upon are applied by the Member States of the United Nations on the basis of notification, by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, of the points of entry of the territory of Angola  which are not affected by the said measures, as communicated to him by the Government of Angola; whereas such notification reached the Community on 7 October 1993;
Whereas the Community and its Member States have agreed to have recourse to a Community instrument in order to ensure, inter alia, uniform application of these measures throughout the Community;
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
