         COUNCIL DECISION 2011/782/CFSP
   of 1 December 2011
   concerning restrictive measures against Syria and repealing Decision 2011/273/CFSP
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 9 May 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/273/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria (1).

               (2)

               On 23 October 2011, the European Council stated that the Union would impose further measures against the Syrian regime as long as the repression of the civilian population continued.

               (3)

               In view of the gravity of the situation in Syria, the Council considers it necessary to impose additional restrictive measures.

               (4)

               Moreover, additional persons and entities should be included in the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures as set out in Annex I to Decision 2011/273/CFSP.

               (5)

               For the sake of clarity, the measures imposed by Decision 2011/273/CFSP and the additional measures should be integrated into a single legal instrument.

               (6)

               Decision 2011/273/CFSP should therefore be repealed.

               (7)

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

               (8)

               In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Decision are effective, it should enter into force on the day of its adoption,

   5.   Paragraph 1 shall not prevent a designated person or entity from making a payment due under a contract entered into before the listing of such a person or entity, provided that the relevant Member State has determined that the payment is not directly or indirectly received by a person or entity referred to in paragraph 1.
   6.   Paragraph 1 shall not prevent a designated entity listed in Annex II, for a period of two months after the date of its designation, from making a payment from frozen funds or economic resources received by such entity after the date of its designation, where such payment is due under a contract in connection with the financing of trade, provided that the relevant Member State has determined that the payment is not directly or indirectly received by a person or entity referred to in paragraph 1.
