summary
The European Parliament, using its procedure without report, adopted a resolution on restrictive measures directed against Usama bin Laden, the Al-Quaida network, and the Taliban. The amendments made by Parliament reflect its concern that non-derogable human rights as set down in the International Covenant on Civic and Political rights be respected. Parliament emphasised the fact that the list of persons and bodies whose assets are frozen has been determined solely by the UN Sanctions Committee. There must be a proper procedure for the revision of the lists by the Sanctions Committee, particularly since the list includes EU citizens, despite the fact that no judicial proceedings have taken place and no evidence has been provided. Parliament went on to state that the Court of Justice has jurisdiction in actions brought by the persons listed, as well as the power to give preliminary rulings concerning the validity and interpretation of the Regulation. Accordingly, the Court of Justice may take interim measures to ensure respect for human rights, particularly the right of life. The Sanctions Committee must be supplied with any information, particularly requests by interested parties for adding or removing from the list EU citizens, and for the granting by the Sanctions Committee of exemptions on the grounds of humanitarian need. Lastly, the Parliament should be informed of the Commission's contacts with the UN Sanctions Committee, particularly of cases where a request to delete from the list of citizens or residents of the EU or to grant an exemption on humanitarian grounds is refused.�

summary
PURPOSE : to impose restrictive measures against Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban and to repeal Council Regulation 467/2001/EC on sanctions against Afghanistan. CONTENT : as a result of UN Security Council resolutions, the Council decided to impose sanctions in relation to Afghanistan, including a particular ban on flights, a ban on certain exports and freezing of funds, by means of regulation 467/2001/EC. A subsequent Security Council resolution of 16/01/02 stated that the scope of both the financial measures and the prohibition against rendering services related to military activities, should be adjusted and the remainder of these sanctions should be repealed. The adjusted financial measures and prohibition on rendering certain services target bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban. A list of persons, groups and entities will be decided by a UN Sanctions Committee. Since there is no link between the persons concerned and the Government of Afghanistan, it is considered appropriate to adopt a new Regulation imposing such measures and repealing sanctions against Afghanistan. In view of the explicit mention of terrorism in the texts, the new regulation has been aligned with Council Regulation 2580/2001/EC, which provides the framework for specific restrictive measures with a view to combating terrorism, directed against persons that have not been the subject of a specific determination by the Security Council or a UN Sanctions Committee.�
