Sanctions: UK at last publishes list of Ivory Coast targets
It's been a long time coming but at long last we have a definitive list of those affected by the EU's sanctions against Ivory Coast. And it's a lot longer than originally expected. Particularly interesting is the description of various persons, for example "GBAGBO..Supposedly President of the Republic."
EU Regulation 25/2011 was published on 15 January and takes immediate effect. But the UK Treasury did not issue its notice until late on 17 January 2011. They argue that their publishing of the list is supplemental to the publishing in the Official Gazette and it is to that that financial services businesses should look.
The Regulation provides that all funds and economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by the persons listed in Annexes I and IA to the 2005 Regulation must be frozen.
No funds or economic resources shall be made available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of designated persons.
The participation, knowingly and intentionally, in activities the object or effect of which is, directly or indirectly, to circumvent these measures is prohibited.
