Financial Sanctions: Terrorism and Terrorist Financing

Monday, 16 February 2015

The Terrorist Asset-Freezing Etc. Act 2010 (of Parliament), as it applies in the Isle of Man, implements the terrorist asset-freezing requirements of UN Security Council Resolution 1373 (2001) and Council Regulation (EU) No 2580/2001.

The Treasury has renewed the final designation in respect of EUZKADI TA ASKATASUNA (ETA) with effect from 13 February 2015

RENEWAL OF FINAL DESIGNATION

Date of Renewal of Final Designation:  13 February 2015

Entity 

EUZKADI TA ASKATASUNA 

a.k.a: (1) Basque Fatherland and Liberty

         (2) ETA 

Other Information: UK listing only

Group ID: 7083 

This means that EUZKADI TA ASKATASUNA (ETA) is therefore a designated person for the purposes of the Terrorist Asset Freezing etc Act 2010 and continues to be subject to the financial sanctions imposed by the Act

Section 26 of the Terrorist Asset-Freezing Etc. Act 2010 allows a designated person to appeal to the High Court against any decision of the Treasury to make or vary, or not to make or vary, any interim or final designation.

Section 27 of the Act allows a designated person or anyone else affected by a decision of the Treasury to appeal to the High Court for a decision to be set aside.

Financial institutions and other persons are requested to check whether they maintain any accounts or otherwise hold funds or economic resources for, or provide financial services to, the designated entity  If so, they must freeze such accounts or other funds and, unless licensed by the Treasury, refrain from dealing with said funds or economic resources, and suspend the provision of any financial services.  They must also report their findings to the Sanctions Officer at the Customs and Excise Division of the Treasury.  Where a relevant institution has already reported details of accounts, other funds or economic resources held frozen for the designated entity they are not required to report these details again.

Further details of the sanctions regime related to Terrorism and links to the Consolidated List of individuals and entities subject to other financial sanctions regimes may be found on the Customs and Excise pages of the Isle of Man Government website.
