The Committee established pursuant to paragraph 12 of UNSCR 1718 (2006) considered a list of weapons of mass destruction-related items, materials, equipment, goods and technology to be identified and designated as sensitive goods.\n(6)\nFurthermore, the Council considers that the prohibition on the entry into ports of any vessel that is owned, operated or crewed by the DPRK should also apply to DPRK flagged vessels.\n(7)\nFurther action by the Union is needed in order to implement the measures provided for in this Decision.\n(8)\nDecision (CFSP) 2016/849 should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
