COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/2201

of 13 December 2021

amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1770 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Mali

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1770 (2) gives effect to Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 and provides for the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain persons designated by the United Nations Security Council (the ‘Security Council’) or by the relevant United Nations Sanctions Committee as responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, or stability of Mali.

(2)

Council Decision (CFSP) 2021/2208 (3) establishes criteria for Union autonomous listings.
