17.10.2012 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 285/1 COUNCIL DECISION 2012/642/CFSP of 15 October 2012 concerning restrictive measures against Belarus THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof, Whereas: (1) The Council first adopted restrictive measures against Belarus under Common Position 2004/661/CFSP (1). It has continued to express its grave concern about the continued lack of respect for human rights, democracy and rule of law in Belarus, and that political prisoners have not been released or rehabilitated, and has therefore renewed and extended its measures. (2) On 25 October 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/639/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Belarus (2). (3) Specific concerns have led to the imposition of restrictive measures against persons who are considered by the Pourgourides Report to be key actors in the unresolved disappearances of four well-known persons in Belarus in 1999-2000, and the following cover-up, or who failed to start an independent investigation or prosecution regarding the disappearances. (4) Measures have also been imposed against those responsible for the fraudulent elections and referendum in Belarus on 17 October 2004, for the violations of international electoral standards in the presidential elections in Belarus on 19 March 2006 and on 19 December 2010, as well as those who are responsible for severe human rights violations and the repression of peaceful demonstrators in the aftermath of those elections and that referendum. (5) Particular responsibility is borne by the officials directly involved or responsible for the fraudulent nature of the presidential elections and referendum; those responsible for organising and implementing the dissemination of falsified information through the state-controlled media; those responsible for excessive and unprovoked use of force against unarmed and peaceful protesters; those responsible for implementing the ongoing and politically motivated administrative and criminal sanctions against large groups of representatives of the civil society, democratic opposition, NGOs and free media in Belarus, and those responsible for systematic and coordinated violation of international human rights standards and the laws of the Republic of Belarus in the administration of justice and exercising methods of coercion and intimidation against legal representatives of detainees and against other individuals. (6) Furthermore, given the gravity of the situation, measures should also be imposed on persons in a leading position in Belarus, and on persons and entities benefiting from or supporting the Lukashenka regime, in particular persons and entities providing financial or material support to the regime. (7) In order to ensure the effectiveness of these measures, they should also apply to entities owned or controlled by natural or legal persons, entities or bodies responsible for serious violations of human rights or the repression of civil society and democratic opposition, or whose activities otherwise seriously undermine democracy or the rule of law in Belarus, and to entities owned or controlled by persons and entities benefiting from or supporting the Lukashenka regime. (8) Noting that the most recent elections of 23 September 2012 have also been found to be inconsistent with international standards, in particular in preliminary findings of the OSCE/ODIHR election observation mission to Belarus, and that the situation as regards democracy, human rights and rule of law had not improved, the Council maintains its grave concerns regarding the situation in Belarus. (9) On the basis of a review of Decision 2010/639/CFSP, the restrictive measures should be extended until 31 October 2013. (10) For the sake of clarity, the measures imposed by Decision 2010/639/CFSP should be integrated into a single legal instrument, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 1.

Summary: Restrictive measures against Belarus Restrictive measures against Belarus SUMMARY OF: Decision 2012/642/CFSP on restrictive measures against Belarus Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 on restrictive measures against President Lukashenko and certain officials of Belarus Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/336 implementing Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 on restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine Decision (CFSP) 2022/337 amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP on restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/353 implementing Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 Decision (CFSP) 2022/354 amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP Regulation (EU) 2022/355 amending Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 Decision (CFSP) 2022/356 amending Decision 2012/642/CFSP Regulation (EU) 2022/398 amending Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 Decision (CFSP) 2022/399 amending Decision 2012/642/CFSP WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE DECISIONS AND THE REGULATIONS? Decision 2012/642/CFSP and Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 set out sanctions to be imposed on the Belarus regime and its supporters. Following elections in Belarus in August 2020 and the subsequent repression of civil society and opposition activists, implementing decisions and regulations imposed travel bans and asset freezes on individuals and bodies or entities. Further sanctions followed the unlawful forced landing of a Ryanair flight in Minsk in May 2021. These included a ban on flying over EU territory and on access to EU airports by flights operated by Belarusian airlines. In February and March 2022, following the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by armed forces of the Russian Federation and the involvement of Belarus in this aggression, an additional comprehensive package of sanctions was adopted by the Council of the European Union. KEY POINTS The European Union (EU) treaties provide the legal bases for the EU to impose sanctions on non-EU countries. Restrictive measures (sanctions) Decision 2012/642/CFSP and Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 set out: a ban on the export of arms and equipment which might be used for internal repression (Annex III to the regulation lists such equipment); a ban on providing technical or financial assistance for such equipment; an asset freeze – the freezing of funds (financial assets and benefits of all kinds) and economic resources – and a travel ban – restricting the entry of individuals to EU Member States – for those: responsible for serious human rights violations;repressing civil society and democratic opposition;responsible for other activities that seriously undermine democracy or the rule of law in Belarus;benefiting or supporting the Lukashenko regime. An updated list of those subject to asset freezing and travel bans is annexed to the regulation. Council conclusions of October 2020 The elections held in Belarus in August 2020 were declared ‘neither free nor fair’ by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. As well as additional asset freezing and travel bans set out in Implementing Decision (CFSP) 2020/1388 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1387, the EU indicated that it was prepared to: take further restrictive measures against high-ranking officials including A. Lukashenko;reduce its cooperation with the central Belarusian authorities;increase its support for the Belarusian people and civil society, making changes to its financial assistance accordingly. Implementing Decision (CFSP) 2020/1650 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1648 update the list of high-ranking officials subject to EU restrictive measures, including A. Lukashenko. In response to the brutality of the Belarusian authorities and in support of the democratic rights of the Belarusian people, on 19 November 2020, the Council agreed to proceed with the preparation of a further round of sanctions. In view of the ongoing repression of civil society in Belarus, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2129 adds 29 persons and 7 entities to the list of natural and legal persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 and Implementing Decision (CFSP) 2020/2130 adds these 29 persons and 7 entities to the list set out in the Annex to Decision 2012/642/CFSP. European Council conclusions of May 2021 Following the unlawful forced landing of a Ryanair flight in Minsk in May 2021, the European Council called for: the immediate release of journalist Raman Pratasevich and his wife Sofia Sapega and for guarantees of their freedom of movement;the International Civil Aviation Organization to urgently investigate the incident. In June 2021, the Council adopted: Regulation (EU) 2021/907 and Decision (CFSP) 2021/908 to amend Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 and Decision 2012/642/CFSP banning any aircraft operated by Belarusian airlines from landing on, taking off from or flying over EU territory, unless specifically authorised to do so in certain circumstances;Regulation (EU) 2021/996 and Decision (CFSP) 2021/1001 further amending Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 and the Annex to Decision 2012/642/CFSP to authorise the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources and to add one Belarusian individual to the list of sanctioned persons;Regulation (EU) 2021/997 and Implementing Decision (CFSP) 2021/1002 amending, respectively, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 and the Annex to Decision 2012/642/CFSP to include 77 individuals and 7 legal persons in the list of sanctioned persons;Regulation (EU) 2021/1030 and Decision (CFSP) 2021/1031 amending, respectively Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 and Decision 2012/642/CFSP setting out definitions of dual-use goods and technology, investment services, transferable securities, money market instruments and credit institution. In addition, a ban on the sale, supply or transfer of equipment, technology and software intended for use in the monitoring and interception of telephone communications by the Belarusian authorities was introduced. In November 2021, the Council adopted: Decision (CFSP) 2021/1989 which amends Decision 2012/642/CFSP and introduces certain exceptions to the ban on providing insurance and re-insurance to the Belarusian Government and Belarusian public bodies and agencies, in order to avoid unintended consequences. Regulation (EU) 2021/1986 amends Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 accordingly;Decision (CFSP) 2021/1990 introduces an additional criterion to allow for targeted restrictive measures to be applied against those organising or contributing to activities by the Lukashenka regime that facilitate the illegal crossing of the EU’s external borders or the transfer of prohibited goods and the illegal transfer of restricted goods, including hazardous goods, into the EU’s territory. Regulation (EU) 2021/1985 amends Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 to reflect this change. Invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, 24 February 2022 On 24 February 2022, following the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by armed forces of the Russian Federation and the involvement of Belarus in this aggression against Ukraine, the High Representative indicated that the EU’s response would include both sectoral and individual restrictive measures.

These acts: prohibit the listing of and providing of services related to shares of Belarusian state-owned entities on EU trading venues;limit financial deposits from Belarus to the EU;prohibit transactions with the Central Bank of Belarus;restrict the providing of specialised financial messaging services to certain Belarusian credit institutions and their Belarusian subsidiaries; andin the context of the single European sky, require the Network Manager for air traffic management to reject all flight plans filed by aircraft operators indicating an intent to carry out activities over the EU’s territory or that of Belarus that constitute a violation of Regulation (EC) No 765/2006, such that the pilot is not permitted to fly.
