THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 423/2007^f1, and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(2)

On 23 June 2008, the Council established the list of persons, entities and bodies, as set out in Annex V, to which Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 applies. In accordance with Article 15(3) of that Regulation, the Council stated individual and specific reasons for decisions taken pursuant to Article 15(2) and made them known to the persons, entities and bodies concerned.

(3)

In accordance with Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 423/2007, the Council has carried out a complete review of the list of persons, entities and bodies referred to in Article 7(2) of that Regulation. When doing so it took account of observations submitted to the Council by those concerned.

(4)

The Council has concluded that the persons, entities and bodies listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 should continue to be subject to the specific restrictive measures provided for therein.

(5)

The list of persons and entities should be amended in order to take account of changes in the Government and the administration in Iran, as well as in the situation of the individuals and entities concerned.

(6)

The list of the persons, entities and bodies referred to in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 should therefore be updated accordingly.
