COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2016/849
of 27 May 2016
concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and repealing
Decision 2013/183/CFSP
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1) On 22 December 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/800/CFSP (
1
) concerning restrictive measures against
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (‘the DPRK’), which, inter alia, implemented United Nations Security
Council Resolutions (‘UNSCRs’) 1718 (2006) and 1874 (2009).
(2) On 7 March 2013, the UN Security Council adopted UNSCR 2094 (2013), condemning in the strongest terms
the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK on 12 February 2013 in violation of and with flagrant disregard for the
relevant UNSCRs.
(3) On 22 April 2013, the Council adopted Decision 2013/183/CFSP (
2
), which replaced Decision 2010/800/CFSP
and, inter alia, implemented UNSCRs 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013) and 2094 (2013).
(4) On 2 March 2016, the UN Security Council adopted UNSCR 2270 (2016), expressing its gravest concern at the
nuclear test conducted by the DPRK on 6 January 2016 in violation of the relevant UNSCRs, condemning the
DPRK's launch of 7 February 2016, which used ballistic-missile technology and was in serious violation of the
relevant UNSCRs, and determining that there continues to exist a clear threat to international peace and security
in the region and beyond.
(5) On 31 March 2016, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2016/476 (
3
), which amended Decision
2013/183/CFSP and implemented UNSCR 2270 (2016).
(6) In view of the DPRK's actions earlier this year, considered to be a grave threat to international peace and security
in the region and beyond, the Council has decided to impose additional restrictive measures.
(7) UNSCR 2270 (2016), which expresses great concern that the DPRK's arms sales have generated revenues that are
diverted to the pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, provides that the restrictions on arms should
cover all arms and related materiel, including small arms and light weapons and their related materiel. It also
further extends prohibitions on the transfer and procurement of any items that could contribute to the
development of the operational capabilities of the DPRK's armed forces or to exports that support or enhance
the operational capabilities of armed forces of another UN Member State outside the DPRK.
(8) UNSCR 2270 (2016) specifies that the prohibition on the procurement of technical assistance related to arms
prohibits UN Member States from engaging in the hosting of trainers, advisors or other officials for the purpose
of military-, paramilitary- or police-related training.

Korea and repealing Common Position 2006/795/CFSP (OJ L 341, 23.12.2010, p.32).

(

) Council Decision (CFSP) 2016/476 of 31 March 2016 amending Decision 2013/183/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (OJ L 85, 1.4.2016, p. 38).
(9) UNSCR 2270 (2016) affirms that the prohibitions on the transfer, procurement and provision of technical
assistance related to certain goods also apply with respect to the shipment of items to or from the DPRK for
repair, servicing, refurbishing, testing, reverse-engineering and marketing, regardless of whether ownership or
control is transferred, and underscores that the visa-ban measures are also to apply to any individual traveling for
those purposes.
(10) The Council considers it appropriate to prohibit the supply, sale or transfer to DPRK of further items, materials,
equipment relating to dual-use goods and technology.
(11) UNSCR 2270 (2016) extends the list of individuals and entities subject to asset freeze and visa-ban measures and
provides that the asset freeze is to apply with respect to entities of the Government of the DPRK or the Worker's
Party of Korea, where the UN Member State determines that they are associated with the DPRK's nuclear or
ballistic-missile programmes or other activities prohibited by the relevant UNSCRs.
(12) UNSCR 2270 (2016), which expresses concern that the DPRK is abusing the privileges and immunities accorded
to it under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations, lays down additional measures aimed
at preventing DPRK diplomats or governmental representatives or individuals from third States from acting on
behalf or at the direction of designated individuals or entities or from engaging in prohibited activities.
(13) UNSCR 2270 (2016) further clarifies the scope of the obligation for UN Member States to prevent specialised
training of DPRK nationals in certain sensitive disciplines.
(14) UNSCR 2270 (2016) also expands the scope of the measures applicable to the transportation and financial
sectors.
(15) In the context of the measures applicable to the financial sector, the Council considers that it is appropriate to
prohibit transfers of funds to and from the DPRK, unless specifically authorised in advance, as well as investment
by the DPRK in the territories under the jurisdiction of Member States and investment by nationals or entities of
the Member States in the DPRK.
(16) In addition to the measures provided for in the relevant UNSCR, Member States should deny permission to land
in, take off from or overfly their territory to any aircraft operated by DPRK carriers or originating from the
DPRK. Member States should also prohibit the entry into their ports of any vessel that is owned, operated or
crewed by the DPRK.
(17) UNSCR 2270 (2016) prohibits the procurement of certain minerals and the export of aviation fuel.
(18) The Council considers that the prohibition on the export of luxury goods should be extended to cover the
import of such goods from the DPRK.
(19) UNSCR 2270 (2016) further extends the prohibitions on the provision of financial support for trade with the
DPRK.
(20) Furthermore, the Council considers it appropriate to extend the prohibitions on public financial support for trade
with the DPRK, in particular to avoid any financial support contributing to proliferation-sensitive nuclear
activities or to the development of nuclear-weapon delivery systems.
(21) UNSCR 2270 (2016) recalls that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has called upon countries to apply
enhanced due diligence and effective countermeasures to protect their jurisdictions from the DPRK's illicit
financial activity, and calls upon UN Member States to apply FATF Recommendation 7, its Interpretive Note and
related guidance to effectively implement targeted financial sanctions related to proliferation.
28.5.2016 L 141/80 Official Journal of the European Union
EN
(22) UNSCR 2270 (2016) also underlines that measures imposed thereby are not intended to have adverse
humanitarian consequences for the civilian population of the DPRK or to affect negatively activities that are not
prohibited by the relevant UNSCRs, or the work of international organisations and non-governmental organ
isations carrying out assistance and relief activities in the DPRK for the benefit of the civilian population.
(23) UNSCR 2270 (2016) expresses its commitment to a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution to the situation. It
reaffirms support for the Six-Party Talks and calls for their resumption.
(24) UNSCR 2270 (2016) affirms that the DPRK's actions are to be kept under continuous review and that the UN
Security Council is prepared to strengthen, modify, suspend or lift the measures as necessary in light of the
DPRK's compliance and is determined to take further significant measures in the event of a further DPRK nuclear
test or launch.
(25) In February 2016, the Council carried out a review in accordance with Article 22(2) of Decision 2013/183/CFSP
and Article 6(2) and (2a) of Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 (
1
) and confirmed that the persons and entities that
appear in Annex II to that Decision and in Annex V to that Regulation should remain listed.
(26) This Decision respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter
of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, notably the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial, the
right to property and the right to the protection of personal data. This Decision should be applied in accordance
with those rights and principles.
(27) This Decision also fully respects the obligations of Member States under the Charter of the United Nations and
the legally binding nature of UNSCRs.
(28) For the sake of clarity, Decision 2013/183/CFSP should be repealed and replaced by a new Decision.
(29) Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures,
