Financial sanctions - Al-Qaida

The European Commission has amended Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No. 881/2002 ("the 2002 Regulation") with effect from 13 October 2002. Annex I of the 2002 Regulation lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation. The amendments reflect the decisions made on 3 and 5 October 2012 by the United Nations Sanctions Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) to remove one individual from the UN Al-Qaida list and amend the identifying information of one existing entry.

The individual removed from Annex I is therefore no longer subject to the asset freeze imposed by the 2002 Regulation.
