The lists set out in Annexes I and III to Decision 2011/137/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(3)\nOn 27 August 2014, the United Nations Security Council adopted UNSCR 2174 (2014), extending the application of the travel ban and asset freeze measures as set out in paragraph 22 of UNSCR 1970 (2011) and paragraph 23 of UNSCR 1973 (2011).\n(4)\nIn addition, UNSCR 2174 (2014) amends the scope of the arms embargo imposed by paragraph 9 of UNSCR 1970 (2011), paragraph 13 of UNSCR 2009 (2011) and paragraphs 9 and 10 of UNSCR 2095 (2013). It is therefore necessary to amend Decision 2011/137/CFSP in order to further clarify the scope of the arms embargo.\n(5)\nDecision 2011/137/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nFurther action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain of these amendments,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
