By means of Commission Regulation (EC) No 246/2006 Sanabel Relief Agency Limited (Sanabel) was added to Annex I.\n(2)\nOn 29 September 2010 the General Court annulled Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 in so far as it concerned Sanabel holding that the rights of the defence, the right to judicial review and the right to property had not been respected.\n(3)\nFollowing receipt of a statement of reasons from the UN Al Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee, the Commission communicated this statement to Sanabel in August 2009. In July 2010 it has communicated a related statement of reasons which it had just received from the Sanctions Committee. Sanabel has submitted its observations on these statements of reasons.\n(4)\nThe list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply, drawn up by the UN Al Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee, currently comprises Sanabel.\n(5)\nPursuant to Article 7c(3) of Regulation (EC) No 881/2002, after having carefully considered the observations received from Sanabel, and given the preventive nature of the freezing of funds and economic resources, the Commission considers that the listing of Sanabel is justified for reasons of its association with the Taliban, Usama bin Laden or the Al-Qaida network.\n(6)\nIn view of this, the listing decision concerning Sanabel should be replaced by a new decision confirming its inclusion in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002.\n(7)\nThis new decision should apply from 11 February 2006, given the preventive nature and objectives of the freezing of funds and economic resources under Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 and the need to protect legitimate interests of the economic operators, who have been relying on the decision made in 2006.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Review of Listings under Regulation 881/2002,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
