COUNCIL DECISION 2011/170/CFSP
of 21 March 2011

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 28 and Article 43(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 7 March 2005, the Council adopted Joint Action 2005/190/CFSP on the European Union Integrated Rule of Law Mission in Iraq, EUJUST LEX (1). That Joint Action, as subsequently amended and extended, expired on 30 June 2009.
(2) On 11 June 2009, the Council adopted Joint Action 2009/475/CFSP (2) which continued EUJUST LEX for another 12 months until 30 June 2010 and which provided that during this period EUJUST LEX was to start a pilot phase of activities in Iraq.
(3) On 14 June 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/330/CFSP (3) which continued EUJUST LEX for a further 24 months until 30 June 2012 and which provided that during this period EUJUST LEX – IRAQ should progressively shift its activities and relevant structures to Iraq, focusing on specialised training, while maintaining out-of-country activities as appropriate.
(4) Council Decision 2010/330/CFSP provided for a financial reference amount intended to cover the expenditure related to EUJUST LEX-IRAQ for the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011. This financial reference amount should be increased to cover the Mission’s operational needs and Council Decision 2010/330/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The mandate of the Mission is being carried out in a security context that is liable to deteriorate and to undermine the objectives of the external action of the Union as defined in Article 21 of the Treaty.
(6) The command and control structure of the Mission should be without prejudice to the contractual responsibility of the Head of Mission towards the Commission for implementing the budget of the Mission,
Article 11(1) of Council Decision 2010/330/CFSP is hereby replaced by the following:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Common Position 2006/31/CFSP of 23 January 2006 renewing the restrictive measures imposed against Liberia (1) and Common Position 2006/518/CFSP of 24 July 2006 modifying and renewing certain restrictive measures imposed against Liberia (2),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In order to implement the measures imposed against Liberia by the United Nations Security Council Resolution (hereinafter referred to as ‘UNSCR’) 1521 (2003), Common Position 2004/137/CFSP (3) of 10 February 2004 concerning restrictive measures against Liberia provided for the implementation of the measures set out in UNSCR 1521 (2003) concerning Liberia, and a ban on the provision to Liberia of financial assistance related to military activities. In line with UN Security Council Resolutions 1647 (2005), 1683 (2006) and 1689 (2006), Common Positions 2006/31/CFSP and 2006/518/CFSP confirmed the restrictive measures of Common Position 2004/137/CFSP for a further period of time and provided for certain modifications.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 (4) prohibits the provision to Liberia of technical and financial assistance related to military activities, the import of rough diamonds from Liberia and the import of round logs and timber products originating in that country.
(3) On 20 June 2006, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1689 (2006). It decided, inter alia, not to renew the prohibition against imports of all round logs and timber products originating in Liberia, which had been imposed by paragraph 10 of UNSCR 1521 (2003) and, after several extensions, expired on 20 June 2006. The Security Council expressed its determination to reinstate that prohibition if, within a period of ninety days, Liberia failed to pass the forestry legislation proposed by the Forest Reform Monitoring Committee created by the Government of Liberia.
(4) The Security Council revisited the matter on 20 October 2006 and concluded that Liberia had adopted the necessary forestry legislation. It resolved therefore not to reinstate the prohibition.
(5) Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 234/2004, which prohibits the import into the Community of all round logs and timber products originating in Liberia and was suspended from 23 June 2006 to 18 September 2006, should therefore be repealed with retroactive effect to 19 September 2006,
In Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 234/2004, paragraph 2 shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 19 September 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
