The UNSC reaffirmed that the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons constitutes a threat to international peace and security, and imposed new measures against the DPRK. These measures further reinforce the restrictive measures imposed by UNSCRs 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013), 2270 (2016), 2321 (2016), 2356 (2017) and 2371 (2017).\n(3)\nThe UNSC imposed new prohibitions with regard to imports of, inter alia, DPRK textiles, exports of petroleum products to DPRK, joint ventures and in the maritime sector.\n(4)\nCouncil Decision (CFSP) 2017/1838 amended Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 in order to give effect to the new measures imposed by UNSCR 2375 (2017).\n(5)\nThese measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary.\n(6)\nRegulation (EU) 2017/1509 should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
