THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/740 of 7 May 2015 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in South Sudan and repealing Decision 2014/449/CFSPf1, and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1)
On 7 May 2015, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2015/740.
(2)
In view of the ever deteriorating humanitarian and security situation in South Sudan, and considering the lack of commitment by some actors to the peace process, as exemplified by repeated violations of the Cessation of Hostilities agreement signed on 21 December 2017, three persons should be added to the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures in Annex II to Decision (CFSP) 2015/740.
(3)
Annex II to Decision (CFSP) 2015/740 should therefore be amended accordingly,
