THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 of 27 May 2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with the Al-Qaida network, (1) and in particular Article 7(1)(a) and 7a(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.
(2) On 28 December 2011 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council decided to remove six entities from the list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply after considering the de-listing request submitted by these entities and the Comprehensive Report of the Ombudsperson established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1904(2009). Furthermore, on 30 December 2011, the Sanctions Committee decided to remove one natural person from the list.
(3) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 should therefore be updated accordingly.
