This news release is issued in respect of the restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with the Al-Qaida network.
Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 has been amended with effect from 1 April 2014, following the publication of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 329/2014.
The amendment reflects the decisions made on 14 February and 14 March 2014 by the United Nations Sanctions Council (UNSC) Committee established pursuant to Resolution 1267 (1999) to add one individual to and remove one individual from the UN Al-Qaida list, and to amend the identifying information of one existing entry.
The individuals and entities removed from Annex I are therefore no longer subject to the asset freeze imposed by the 2002 Regulation.

The individual whose name has been removed from Annex I is therefore no longer subject to the asset freeze imposed by the 2002 Regulation.
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 person or 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 persons or entities, they are not required to report these details again.
Further details of the sanctions regime related to Al-Qaida 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.
