On 23 December 2013, the Council adopted Decision 2013/798/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against the Central African Republic providing for arms embargo, in accordance with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2127 (2013) of 5 December 2013. On 13 January 2014 the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission proposed a Regulation concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in the Central African Republic. The Council decided to suspend acting on this proposal pending the adoption of a new Resolution by the UNSC. On 28 January 2014, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2134 (2014) which extended and clarified the arms embargo and provided for the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain persons engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of the Central African Republic. The Council is preparing to amend Decision 2013/798/CFSP to give effect to UNSCR 2134 (2014). The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission therefore make a new proposal for a Regulation concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in the Central African Republic. The proposal of 13 January 2014 is withdrawn. |
