   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

   Whereas:

               On 31 January 2011, the Council reaffirmed its full solidarity and support with Tunisia and its people in their efforts to establish a stable democracy, the rule of law, democratic pluralism and full respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

               (2)

               The Council further decided to adopt restrictive measures against persons responsible for misappropriation of Tunisian State funds and who are thus depriving the Tunisian people of the benefits of the sustainable development of their economy and society and undermining the development of democracy in the country.

               (3)

               Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1

   3.   The competent authority of a Member State may authorise the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources, or the making available of certain funds or economic resources, under such conditions as it deems appropriate, after having determined that the funds or economic resources concerned are:

               (a)

               necessary to satisfy the basic needs of the persons listed in the Annex and their dependent family members, including payments for foodstuffs, rent or mortgage, medicines and medical treatment, taxes, insurance premiums, and public utility charges;

               (c)

               the lien or judgment is not for the benefit of a natural or legal person, entity or body listed in the Annex; and

               (d)

               recognising the lien or judgement is not contrary to public policy in the Member State concerned.

         A Member State shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of any authorisation granted under this paragraph.
   5.   Paragraph 2 shall not apply to the addition to frozen accounts of:

               (a)

   THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular Article 24 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 24(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the Administrative Board of Review carries out an internal administrative review of the decisions taken by the European Central Bank (ECB) in the exercise of the powers conferred upon it under Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 after a request for review submitted in accordance with Article 24(5).

               (2)

               Pursuant to Article 24(10) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the ECB will adopt the Operating Rules of the Administrative Board of Review, which will be made public.

               (3)

               Pursuant to Article 24(11) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the establishment of the Administrative Board of Review is without prejudice to the right to bring proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union in accordance with the Treaties.

               (4)

               A review by the Administrative Board of Review is an optional review for persons to whom a decision of the ECB under Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 is addressed, or to whom such decision is of direct and individual concern, before bringing proceedings before the Court of Justice,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   PRELIMINARY CHAPTER

   4.   The members of the Administrative Board and the two alternates shall act independently and in the public interest.

   5.   The terms and conditions of appointment of the members of the Administrative Board and the two alternates shall be laid down by the Governing Council.
   Article 5
   Chair and Vice-Chair
   1.   The Administrative Board shall designate its Chair and its Vice-Chair.
   2.   The Chair shall ensure the functioning of the Administrative Board, the efficient examination of reviews and adherence to the Operating Rules.

   Article 6

   5.   The notice of review shall clearly indicate the applicant's full contact details so that the Secretary may send communications to the applicant or its representative as the case may be.

   2.   Without prejudice to paragraph 1, the Governing Council, upon a proposal by the Administrative Board, may decide to suspend the application of the contested decision provided the request for review is admissible and not obviously unfounded and it considers that the immediate application of the contested decision may cause irreparable damage. The Governing Council shall take such decision to suspend the application of the contested decision after having heard the opinion of the Supervisory Board as appropriate.
   3.   The procedures laid down in these Operating Rules, including those set out in Articles 12 and 14 in respect of directions and hearings, shall apply as necessary to the determination of any question of suspension.

   Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 21 February 2011, the European Union declared its readiness to support the peaceful and orderly transition to a civilian and democratic government in Egypt based on the rule of law, with full respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and to support efforts to create an economy which enhances social cohesion and promotes growth.

               (2)

               In this context, restrictive measures should be imposed against persons having been identified as responsible for misappropriation of Egyptian State funds and who are thus depriving the Egyptian people of the benefits of the sustainable development of their economy and society and undermining the development of democracy in the country.

               (3)

               Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   1.   All funds and economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by persons having been identified as responsible for misappropriation of Egyptian State funds, and natural or legal persons, entities or bodies associated with them, as listed in the Annex, shall be frozen.
   2.   No funds or economic resources shall be made available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of, natural or legal persons, entities or bodies listed in the Annex.
   3.   The competent authority of a Member State may authorise the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources, or the making available of certain funds or economic resources, under such conditions as it deems appropriate, after having determined that the funds or economic resources concerned are:

               (a)

               necessary to satisfy the basic needs of the natural persons listed in the Annex and their dependent family members, including payments for foodstuffs, rent or mortgage, medicines and medical treatment, taxes, insurance premiums, and public utility charges;

               (b)

               intended exclusively for the payment of reasonable professional fees and the reimbursement of incurred expenses associated with the provision of legal services;

               (c)

               intended exclusively for the payment of fees or service charges for the routine holding or maintenance of frozen funds or economic resources; or

               (d)

               necessary for extraordinary expenses, provided that the competent authority has notified the competent authorities of the other Member States and the Commission of the grounds on which it considers that a specific authorisation should be granted, at least 2 weeks prior to the authorisation.

         A Member State shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of any authorisation granted under this paragraph.
   4.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the competent authority of a Member State may authorise the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources, provided that the following conditions are met:

               (a)

               the funds or economic resources in question are the subject of a judicial, administrative or arbitral lien established prior to the date on which the natural or legal person, entity or body referred to in paragraph 1 was listed in the Annex, or of a judicial, administrative or arbitral judgment rendered prior to that date;

               (b)

               the funds or economic resources in question will be used exclusively to satisfy claims secured by such a lien or recognised as valid in such a judgment, within the limits set by applicable laws and regulations governing the rights of persons having such claims;

               (c)

               the lien or judgment is not for the benefit of a person, entity or body listed in the Annex; and

               (d)

               recognising the lien or judgement is not contrary to public policy in the Member State concerned.

         The Member State concerned shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of any authorisation granted under this paragraph.
   5.   Paragraph 1 shall not prevent a listed natural or legal person, entity or body from making a payment due under a contract entered into prior to the date on which such person, entity or body was listed in the Annex, provided that the Member State concerned has determined that the payment is not directly or indirectly received by a person, entity or body referred to in paragraph 1.
   6.   Paragraph 2 shall not apply to the addition to frozen accounts of:

               (a)

               interest or other earnings on those accounts; or

               (b)

               payments due under contracts, agreements or obligations that were concluded or arose prior to the date on which those accounts became subject to the measures provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2,

         provided that any such interest, other earnings and payments remain subject to the measures provided for in paragraph 1.
   Article 2
   1.   The Council, acting upon a proposal by a Member State or the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, shall decide to establish and amend the list in the Annex.
   2.   The Council shall communicate the decision referred to in paragraph 1, including the grounds for the listing, to the natural or legal person, entity or body concerned, either directly, if the address is known, or through the publication of a notice, providing such person, entity or body with an opportunity to present observations.
   3.   Where observations are submitted, or where substantial new evidence is presented, the Council shall review the decision referred to in paragraph 1 and inform the person, entity or body concerned accordingly.
   Article 3
   1.   The Annex shall include the grounds for listing the natural and legal persons, entities and bodies referred to in Article 1(1).
   2.   The Annex shall also contain, where available, the information necessary to identify the natural and legal persons entities or bodies concerned. With regard to natural persons, such information may include names, including aliases, date and place of birth, nationality, passport and ID card numbers, gender, address if known, and function or profession. With regard to legal persons, entities and bodies, such information may include names, place and date of registration, registration number and place of business.
   Article 4
   In order to maximise the impact of the measures referred to in Article 1(1) and (2), the Union shall encourage third States to adopt restrictive measures similar to those provided for in this Decision.
   Article 5
   This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
   This Decision shall apply until 22 March 2012.
   This Decision shall be kept under constant review. It shall be renewed, or amended as appropriate, if the Council deems that its objectives have not been met.

      Done at Brussels, 21 March 2011.
