24.3.2012 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 88/1 COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 267/2012 of 23 March 2012 concerning restrictive measures against Iran and repealing Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof, Having regard to Council Decision 2012/35/CFSP of 23 January 2012 amending Decision 2010/413/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Iran (1), Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission, Whereas: (1) On 25 October 2010, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 on restrictive measures against Iran and repealing Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 (2), in order to give effect to Council Decision 2010/413/CFSP (3). (2) On 23 January 2012, the Council approved Decision 2012/35/CFSP providing for additional restrictive measures against the Islamic Republic of Iran (‧Iran‧) as requested by the European Council on 9 December 2011. (3) Those restrictive measures comprise, in particular, additional restrictions on trade in dual-use goods and technology, as well as on key equipment and technology which could be used in the petrochemical industry, a ban on the import of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products and petrochemical products, as well as a prohibition of investment in the petrochemical industry. Moreover, trade in gold, precious metals and diamonds with the Government of Iran, as well as the delivery of newly printed banknotes and coinage to or for the benefit of the Central Bank of Iran, should be prohibited. (4) Certain technical amendments to existing measures have also become necessary. In particular, the definition of "brokering services" should be clarified. In cases where the purchase, sale, supply, transfer or export of goods and technology or of financial and technical services may be authorised by a competent authority no separate authorisation of related brokering services will be required. (5) The definition of "transfers of funds" should be broadened to non-electronic transfers so as to counter attempts at circumventing the restrictive measures. (6) The revised restrictive measures concerning dual-use goods should cover all goods and technology set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items (4), with the exception of certain items in Part 2 of category 5 thereof in view of their use in public communication services in Iran. However, the prohibitions in Article 2 of this Regulation do not apply to the sale, supply, transfer or export of goods and technology newly listed in Annex I or II of this Regulation for which an authorisation has already been granted by the competent authorities of the Member States pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 prior to the entry into force of this Regulation. (7) In order to ensure the effective implementation of the prohibition on the sale, supply, transfer or export to Iran of certain key equipment or technology which could be used in the key sectors of the oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries, lists of such key equipment and technology should be provided. (8) For the same reason, lists of items subject to trade restrictions on crude oil and petroleum products, petrochemical products, gold, precious metals and diamonds should also be provided. (9) In addition, to be effective, restrictions on investment in the Iranian oil and gas sector should cover certain key activities, such as bulk gas transmission services for the purpose of transit or delivery to directly interconnected grids, and, for the same reason, should apply to joint ventures as well as other forms of associations and cooperation with Iran in the sector of the transmission of natural gas. (10) Effective restrictions on Iranian investment in the Union require that measures be taken to prohibit natural or legal persons, entities and bodies subject to the jurisdiction of the Member States from enabling or authorising such investment. (11) Decision 2012/35/CFSP also extends the freezing of assets to additional persons, entities or bodies providing support to the Government of Iran, including financial, logistical and material support, or associated with them. The Decision also extends the freezing measures to other members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). (12) Decision 2012/35/CFSP also provides for the freezing of the assets of the Central Bank of Iran. However, in consideration of possible involvement of the Central Bank of Iran in the financing of foreign trade, derogations are deemed necessary as this targeted financial measure should not prevent trade operations, including contracts relating to foodstuffs, healthcare, medical equipment or for humanitarian purposes in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation. The exemptions in Articles 12 and 14 of this Regulation concerning contracts for the import, purchase or transport of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products and petrochemical products concluded before 23 January 2012 also apply to ancillary contracts, including transport, insurance or inspections contracts necessary for the execution of such contracts. Furthermore, Iranian crude oil, petroleum products and petrochemical products which are legally imported into a Member State pursuant to the exemptions in Articles 12 and 14 of this Regulation are to be considered as being in free circulation within the Union.. (13) It is prohibited, pursuant to the obligation to freeze the assets of Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line (IRISL) and of entities owned or controlled by IRISL to load and unload cargoes on and from vessels owned or chartered by IRISL or by such entities in ports of Member States. Moreover, the transfer of ownership of vessels owned, controlled or chartered by IRISL companies to other entities is also prohibited pursuant to the freezing of IRISL's assets. However, the obligation to freeze the funds and economic resources of IRISL and of entities owned or controlled by IRISL does not require the impounding or detention of vessels owned by such entities or the cargoes carried by them insofar as such cargoes belong to third parties, nor does it require the detention of the crew contracted by them. (14) In consideration of Iran's attempts at circumventing the sanctions, it should be clarified that all funds and economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by persons, entities or bodies listed in Annexes I or II to Decision 2010/413/CFSP are to be frozen without delay, including those of successor entities established to circumvent the measures set out in this Regulation. (15) It should also be clarified that submitting and forwarding the necessary documents to a bank for the purpose of their final transfer to a person, entity or body that is not listed, to trigger payments allowed under this Regulation, does not constitute making funds available within the meaning of this Regulation. (16) It should be clarified that funds or economic resources should be able to be released for the official purposes of diplomatic or consular missions or international organisations enjoying immunities in accordance with international law, in conformity with the provisions of this Regulation. (17) The application of targeted financial measures by providers of specialised financial messaging services should be further developed, in conformity with the provisions of this Regulation. It should be clarified that the assets of non-designated persons, entities or bodies held at designated credit and financial institutions should not remain frozen in application of the targeted financial measures and should be able to be released under the conditions provided for in this Regulation. In consideration of Iran's attempts at using its financial system for the purpose of circumventing the sanctions, it is necessary to require enhanced vigilance in relation to the activities of Iran's credit and financial institutions so as to prevent circumvention of this Regulation, including the freezing of the assets of the Central Bank of Iran. These enhanced vigilance requirements for credit and financial institutions should be complementary to existing obligations deriving from Regulation (EC) 1781/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 November 2006 on information on the payer accompanying transfers of funds (5) and from the implementation of Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2005 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and terrorist financing (6). (18) Certain provisions regarding the controls of funds transfers should be reviewed in order to facilitate their application by competent authorities and operators and to prevent circumvention of the provisions of this Regulation, including the freezing of the assets of the Central Bank of Iran. (19) Furthermore, the restrictions on insurance should be adjusted, in particular with a view to clarifying that the insurance of diplomatic and consular missions within the Union is permitted, and to allow for the provision of third party liability insurance or environmental liability insurance. (20) Moreover, the requirement to submit pre-arrival and pre-departure information should be updated, since this obligation has become generally applicable to all goods entering or leaving the customs territory of the Union following the full implementation as from 1 January 2012 of the customs security measures laid down in the relevant provisions concerning entry and exit summary declarations in Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (7) and in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (8). (21) Adjustments should also be made concerning the provision of bunkering and ship supply services, the liability of operators and the prohibition of the circumvention of the relevant restrictive measures. (22) The mechanisms for exchange of information between Member States and the Commission should be reviewed so as to ensure the effective implementation and uniform interpretation of this Regulation. (23) In consideration of its objectives, the ban on internal repression equipment should be provided for under Regulation (EU) No 359/2011 concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities and bodies in view of the situation in Iran (9), rather than under this Regulation. (24) For the sake of clarity, Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation. (25) The restrictive measures provided for in this Regulation fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and legislation at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States. (26) This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and in particular the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial, the right to property and the right to protection of personal data. This Regulation should be applied in accordance with those rights and principles. (27) This Regulation also respects the obligations of Member States under the Charter of the United Nations and the legally binding nature of Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. (28) The procedure for the designation of persons subject to freezing measures under this Regulation should include providing designated natural or legal persons, entities or bodies with the grounds for listing, so as to give them an opportunity to submit observations. Where observations are submitted, or substantial new evidence is presented, the Council should review its decision in the light of those observations and inform the person, entity or body concerned accordingly. (29) For the implementation of this Regulation, and to create maximum legal certainty within the Union, the names and other relevant data concerning natural and legal persons, entities and bodies whose funds and economic resources must be frozen in accordance with the Regulation, should be made public. Any processing of personal data of natural persons under this Regulation should be in conformity with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (10) and Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (11).

Summary: Restrictive measures against Iran Restrictive measures against Iran SUMMARY OF: Decision 2010/413/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Iran Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 concerning restrictive measures against Iran and repealing Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 Decision 2011/235/CFSP concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Iran Regulation (EU) No 359/2011 concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities and bodies in view of the situation in Iran WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE DECISIONS AND THE REGULATIONS ? Decision 2010/413/CFSP and Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 set out a series of sanctions and other measures in response to the deepening concern of the European Council about Iran’s nuclear programme and in light of UN Security Council resolution (UNSCR) 1929 (2010). The measures focus on trade, the financial sector, the Iranian transport sector, key sectors in the oil and gas industry and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Decision 2011/235/CFSP and Regulation (EU) No 359/2011 set out a sanctions regime in relation to individuals responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran. KEY POINTS Article 215 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 29 of the Treaty on European Union provide the general framework for EU sanctions pertaining to Iran. Decision 2010/413/CFSP and Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 The decision and the regulation transpose UN sanctions as a follow-up to UNSCR requiring Iran to stop enriching uranium with nuclear proliferation purposes. They also impose a range of autonomous EU economic and financial sanctions on Iran, including the following. Trade in various goods: ban on arms exports to Iran; ban on exports of dual-use goods and goods which could be used in nuclear enrichment-related activities; ban on imports of crude oil, natural gas, petrochemical and petroleum products; ban on the sale or supply of key equipment used in the energy sector; ban on the sale or supply of gold, other precious metals and diamonds; ban on certain naval equipment; ban on certain software. Financial sector: freezing the assets of the Central Bank of Iran and major Iranian commercial banks; laying down notification and authorisation mechanisms for transfers of funds above certain amounts to Iranian financial institutions. Transport sector: preventing access to EU airports for Iranian cargo flights; ban on maintenance and service of Iranian cargo aircraft or vessels carrying prohibited materials or goods; travel restrictions and asset freeze imposed against additional listed persons and entities. On 20 July 2015, UNSCR 2231 (2015) was adopted and agreed by Iran and the ‘E3/EU+3*’. This resolution: endorsed the joint comprehensive plan of action; allowed for certain exemptions to existing restrictive measures; and defined the schedule and commitments to be undertaken by all parties to lead to the termination of restrictive measures against Iran. On 16 January 2016 (Implementation Day), the UN lifted some of its nuclear-related restrictive measures, as set by UNSCR 2231 (2015), and the Council lifted all nuclear-related economic and financial EU sanctions against Iran. However, some restrictions remain in force. Decision 2011/235/CFSP and Regulation (EU) No 359/2011 Decision 2011/235/CFSP provides for a travel ban and a freeze on funds* and freeze on economic resources* for individuals responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran, and those associated with them. Regulation (EU) No 359/2011 gives effect to Decision 2011/235/CFSP insofar as it concerns the following. Measures to combat internal repression It is prohibited to sell, supply, transfer or export the following, whether or not it originates in the EU, to any person or body in Iran or for use in Iran: equipment which might be used for internal repression as listed in Annex III;equipment, technology or software identified in Annex IV, without prior authorisation from the relevant EU country. It is prohibited to provide technical assistance, brokering services and financing to any person or body in Iran or for use in Iran if the services are related to equipment which might be used for internal repression as listed in Annex III. It is prohibited to provide any telecommunication or internet monitoring or interception services to Iran’s government, public bodies, corporations and agencies or to any person or entity acting on their behalf. Financial sanctions Regulation (EU) No 359/2011 outlines: a freeze on funds and economic resources belonging to, owned or held by individuals or bodies listed in Annex I;a ban on funds or economic resources being made available to individuals, entities or bodies listed in Annex I;a ban on intentional activities to circumvent the above measures. Annex I is a list of persons who, in accordance with Decision 2011/235/CFSP, have been identified by the Council as being individuals responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran, and those associated with them. EU countries may exceptionally authorise the release of frozen funds or economic resources, including for basic expenses such as food, medicines and utilities and reasonable professional fees.
