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 2010/788/CFSP of 20 December 2010 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic Republic of the Congo and repealing Common Position 2008/369/CFSPf1, and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1)
On 20 December 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/788/CFSP.
(2)
On 1 February 2018, the United Nations Security Council Committee, established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1533 (2004), added four persons to the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures. Those persons should therefore be added to Annex I to Decision 2010/788/CFSP. Since two of those persons were already designated under Annex II to that Decision, they should be removed from Annex II to that Decision to be now designated under Annex I to that Decision.
(3)
Annexes I and II to Decision 2010/788/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
