The Council also informed those persons, groups and entities concerned that it was possible to request a statement of the Council’s reasons for entering them into the list where such a statement had not already been communicated to them.\n(4)\nThe Council has reviewed the list as required by Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001. When carrying out that review, the Council took into account the observations submitted to it by those concerned as well as the updated information received from the competent national authorities on the status of listed individuals and entities at the national level.\n(5)\nThe Council has verified that competent authorities, as referred to in Article 1(4) of Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP, have taken decisions with regard to all persons, groups and entities on the list to the effect that they have been involved in terrorist acts within the meaning of Article 1(2) and (3) of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP. The Council has also concluded that the persons, groups and entities to which Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP apply should continue to be subject to the specific restrictive measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001.\n(6)\nThe Council has concluded that there are no longer grounds for keeping one person on the list of persons, groups and entities to which Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP apply.\n(7)\nThe list should be updated accordingly, and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/19 should be repealed,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
