Council Decision 2014/450/CFSP

of 10 July 2014

concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Sudan and repealing Decision 2011/423/CFSP

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 30 May 2005, the Council adopted Common Position 2005/411/CFSP^f1. Common Position 2005/411/CFSP integrated the measures imposed by Council Common Position 2004/31/CFSP^f2 and the measures to be implemented pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1591 (2005) into a single legal document.

(2)

On 18 July 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/423/CFSP^f3 imposing restrictive measures against Sudan and South Sudan.

(3)

For the sake of clarity, the restrictive measures imposed by Decision 2011/423/CFSP, insofar as these concern Sudan, should be separated and integrated into a single legal instrument.

(4)

Decision 2011/423/CFSP should therefore be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
